Of course, we see in colour – but vision is just one part of how we sense the environment and moments. In the mountains I see tremendous peaks, I feel and hear the storms, freeze, and feel emotions from success, failure and intense personal experiences. All that black + white […]
Our PHOTONews portfolio for the winter 2018/2019 issue features the work of Paul Zizka, a full-time mountain landscape and adventure photographer based in Banff, Alberta. From the peaks of the Canadian Rockies to iceberg-laden seas off the coast of Greenland, Paul’s journey to capture the “under-documented” is a testament to […]
When I learned last December about a marine mammal photography tour off the coast of Vancouver Island, I immediately signed up – marine mammals are my passion. I had purchased a Nikon D500 earlier that year but needed to find a lens that would allow me to capture wildlife of […]
Where else can you dodge typhoons, suffer through 40 degree heat and travel at speeds of 300km per hour but Japan. Take Your Seat managed to shoot roughly 4000 photographs over three weeks despite the weather. It was as if Nature decided our chair deserved to have its moment. Sure […]
