Ken Pedersen was born in Braborne British Columbia. After graduating from university, his photographic interests took him from bicycling through Europe to underwater photography throughout the Pacific Northwest and the Caribbean.

Now his talent has emerged from the surface of the ocean to highlight the beauty of simplicity in capturing the vivid colours and character of rusting freighters. Through Freighter Art, Ken strives to aesthetically portray the diverse array of shapes, colours and distinct industrial beauty of these hulking carriers while at peaceful anchor in Vancouver British Columbia.
