These are 20 dramatic photos of the Canadian backcountry with incredible stories.
Sunrise on Ha Ling Peak, Canmore
We met in a mountainous region of Ecuador beneath the volcano Cotopaxi. Our love for photographing summits turned into a love for each other and soon the cogs in our brains started planning our next adventure together.
Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park
So off we went. First to the Amazon jungle, then to the Southern Alps of New Zealand, Tasmania in Australia, the European Alps, the Icelandic Highlands, and then to the Canadian Rockies.
Tent Ridge in Kananaskis Country
Indian Ridge in Jasper National Park
Our leg muscles strengthened as we completed over a 1000km of trails and as the hikes turned our calves to stone, our minds were toughened by the extreme conditions we faced.
Lady Aurora dancing in the Northwest Territories
We summited mountains during the night to watch the sunrise, stayed up late to watch the sunset and drove close to 4000km over a long weekend to capture the aurora. We had days that were above 40 degrees Celsius (+100F) and braved temperatures close to -50C (-58F) at night.
