.      Peter Mieras About us Subvision Productions   

Peter Mieras is an experienced underwater cameraman and DOP living on Vancouver Island, BC.  Peter has worked on many TV documentaries as well as NGO and other productions. He specializes in natural history and animal behaviour. Because of his language skills (fluent in Dutch, German, French and of course English) he works with international as well as Canadian crews.  Not only is he specialized in underwater filming, he is also and Transport Canada certified advanced drone pilot. In addition, with all this experience he also works as a fixer who does pre production work ranging from location scouting to permits and other logistics. 

He runs a small dive charter resort in Barkley Sound on Vancouver Island. Living in the middle of nature 365 days a year gives him a lot of opportunity to dive, observe and film animals in their natural habitat.  Combined with courses on animal behaviour, participation in research projects and a network of experts he spends time with, he has become a great source of knowledge for many film crews and of course he uses this knowledge in his own film productions and  production coordination for media productions. He produces rare and high quality 4K underwater (stock) footage. Because of his work with salmon restoration he created a special salmon stock footage channel.

In the little spare time he has, Peter is a first responder with the BC Marine Mammal Response Network. In addition he is involved in many surveys supporting research and set up his own citizen science projects with the help of many researchers. He was also a lead author in an Elsevier science book on shark conservation. In 2021 he started a kelp reforestation experiment with Ocean Wise, the Bamfield Marine Science Centre and Canadian kelp Resources.

He was a winner in the David Suzuki Foundation “Ocean Stories” contest and was declared  the 2013 “Ocean Hero” by the Shaw Ocean Discovery Center. He won the Tacoma Dive and Travel Expo video contest both in 2012 and 2013, and the San Diego Underwater Film Exhibition selected his videos many times for their annual screening.
