Now in his thirties, he has won several prestigious industry awards, including the Pro Photographer Showdown at Whistler's World Ski and Snowboard Festival and Powder Magazine's Photo of the Year and has shot photos in exotic locales such as the Gobi Desert in China, Mount Kenya in Africa, Nepal, Chile, the Australian Outback and Alaska as well as his home turf of Whistler and other parts of British Columbia. He is currently recognized as a senior photo editor by Powder and Skier magazines and his work is sought by heavyweight advertising clients such as Rossignol, Helly Hansen, Oakley, Salomon, Red Bull and Nike.
In 2008 Jorgenson's career embarked on a new phase with the opening of the Blake Jorgenson Gallery in Whistler Village, where he showcases his own work and that of his peers, as well as international touring art shows and exhibits presented in partnership with his top advertising clients. More than just a space to display photos, the eponymous gallery is a symbol of Jorgenson's dedication to both his craft and the Whistler community that has fostered his career.
