“We took a road trip from Montreal to Vancouver one winter, with an old 80s Dodge Ram van. After days of driving through endless roads across the country we reached the road from Banff to Jasper in Alberta. Our van was too low to make it through the thick layer of snow. But the experience of exploring through the snowy mountains and the green pine trees under this bright sun was unique! To fit this raw atmosphere, we opted for the analog camera to capture the moment"—Stéphane Guigné.
“Located just after town of Bishop, boiling water bubbles up into this creek, superheated by a magma chamber buried three miles beneath the surface. The product of a journey through complex underground piping, the process takes roughly a thousand years before the water is released aboveground. This particular section has claimed over 10 lives since the 1970s, as sudden eruptions of molten water surprise tourists, blissfully soaking in the expansive views of the Sierras after a long day in the mountains.”—Kellen Mohr.
“This was taken flying high somewhere over Saudi Arabia, an unknown mountain range hazed in the blue of the earth’s atmosphere. Staring down at these veins of the earth made me wonder of all the explorer’s that may have ventured through this baron yet beautiful range. The untold stories of ancient adventures carved within the crevasses that only the earth will ever know.”—Elliot Fairhurst.
“A horse covered in snow after the storm stands still. Shot in a farm in North Iceland. This is part of a travel diary shot in Iceland. It is however about an internal journey as I experienced for the first time the natural phenomena known as the ’whiteout’, this is suddenly being in the middle of a snow storm, unable to see anything around you, there are no references points at all, the individual is left with a distorted orientation and it just feels as if everything around you disappears. Only for a few minutes you are in the middle of a big void.”—Jahel Guerra.
“There are various legends around the Old Man of Storr and it’s clear why once you’re there. From miles away you can see the unusual black jaggy rock towering majestically out of the rugged landscape. Up close it’s an absolute beast. It was drizzling on the walk up (of course) but being Scottish we didn’t take any notice. As we got closer the drizzle stopped and instead a ghostly mist engulfed us and Storr. We stood, like little ants, in awe of the sheer scale and otherworldliness of the pinnacles, now framed by brilliant white swirling fog.”—Kirsty Gillan.
“That day in the afternoon, I and my friends went to the mountains for a trip. Once there we walked up to the top in the deep snow. Someone launched the idea to make a fire. So we collected some wood and we tried to light it there in the snow. Anyway it turned out to be a good idea because in the evening it became colder and colder. Walking around I suddenly saw far away the green sky and, just below, the bright orange fire making a wonderful contrast. I totally loved it.”—Lorenzo Scudiero.
