Ken Post

Ken Post csc, an RCAF photographer overseas during World War II, took his peacetime camera to the far corners of the globe. He was dubbed “The Great White Bear of the North” because of his numerous shooting adventures in the Arctic, which earned him the reputation as “Canada’s Arctic cameraman.” Ken travelled to many other far-flung places, totalling 50 countries in all. In his later years, he taught at Humber College. An active and dedicated CSC member and one-time Society president, Ken was a fixture at CSC Awards dinners with his booming interjections. His broad sense of humour has been missed since his passing. Ken was the recipient of the Kodak New Century Award in 1991 for outstanding contribution to the art of cinematography, and the Fuji Award in 1994 for service to the CSC.
