Alberta Landscape Photography Prints
Limited edition fine art prints of the Alberta wilderness, the mountains, lakes, prairies, and aurora skies of one of the most extraordinary landscapes in Canada.
Alberta has a quality of light unlike anywhere else in Canada, dramatic, cold, and enormous in scale. From the frozen shores of Abraham Lake to the last alpenglow on the peaks above Banff, these are landscapes that reward patience and punish haste. My Alberta landscape photography prints are made from images I've spent years pursuing, rare alignments of atmosphere and light that exist for minutes, sometimes seconds, and never repeat themselves exactly.
Each print is produced on museum-grade materials and individually signed. Whether you're beginning a collection or adding a statement piece to a space you care about, these works are made to endure.

Alberta, in every season and every light
My work spans the full breadth of the Alberta landscape, from the ancient geology of the Canadian Rockies to the wide silence of the prairies. These are the locations that appear most often in this collection.
The Rockies are the backbone of Alberta's landscape, and the subject I return to most. Peaks that rise over 3,000 metres from valley floors, glaciers that have carved through limestone for millennia, and a wildness that somehow coexists with some of the most visited trails on the continent. I photograph across all four seasons, returning to the same locations across multiple years until the conditions align. The exceptional images are the reward for the unremarkable ones.
Banff has been inspiring photographers for over a century, and for good reason. Within a relatively small area, it contains more iconic landscape photography locations than most photographers will visit in a lifetime. My Banff work is the result of hundreds of early mornings, late evenings, and nights spent in sub-zero temperatures waiting for the sky to perform.
Peyto Lake sits high in Banff National Park, its glacially fed water running a colour that seems implausible until you've seen it yourself, a deep, luminous turquoise that shifts with the light and the season. I've photographed here in the blue hour before sunrise, in the drama of incoming storms, and under the aurora. It is the location where I saw my first northern lights, and the image that came out of that night, Aurora Over Peyto Lake, remains one of the most personal works in the collection.
Bow Lake sits at the edge of the Icefields Parkway, one of the great drives in North America, and in the right conditions it becomes a near-perfect mirror for the peaks above it. I've returned here in every season. A planned overcast morning that became Chromatic Majesty when two full rainbows arced over the lake. A deep winter visit that produced Winter Passage. A clear November night with red and green aurora overhead. Three completely different lakes. All of them Bow Lake.
Abraham Lake is less visited than Banff, which is exactly what makes it special. In January and February, methane bubbles freeze beneath the surface of the lake in formations that look like something from another planet, lit by a low winter sun or, on lucky nights, by the aurora overhead. Getting these images requires overnight trips in temperatures that regularly drop below -30°C. The results are worth it.
Alberta sits in a prime aurora viewing zone, particularly from late September through March. Most aurora images are taken in flat, featureless terrain where the foreground is an afterthought. My aurora collection is built differently, every image pairs the northern lights with an iconic Alberta or Banff landscape, creating photographs that work as much on the power of their subject matter as on the spectacle of the sky above.
The prairies don't get the same attention as the Rockies, but they have their own scale — vast, open, and humbling. A thunderstorm moving across the plains. A grain elevator standing alone against a sky that goes on forever. The light at storm's edge, when the last sunlight breaks under a retreating cloud wall. These images often find homes with Albertans who recognise their home in a way mountain photographs sometimes don't — and with collectors elsewhere who respond to the emotional weight of the scene.
Museum-grade materials, built to last
Hahnemühle German Etching paper — a heavyweight cotton-based paper with a warm, textured surface used in museum archival printing worldwide. Rich shadow depth. Tactile, classic feel. The standard for fine art photography prints intended to last generations.
Acrylic facemount — the image is bonded behind high-clarity acrylic for a luminous, gallery-ready finish. Striking in contemporary and commercial interiors, and the format most often specified by interior designers for client installations.
