Canada Photo Explorer

How often have you thought that your photos are just that: images, not a reflection of your experience? Well, we might just change that by combining Canada’s purest wilderness areas with the expertise of professional photographer Mike Roelofs. Envision a multi-faceted approach to photography as a means of not just registering but enhancing your experience. Inspiring workshops during an adventurous ‘roadtrip’ accompanied by overpowering nature, scenery & wildlife, people and remote settlements.

We fly to a high alpine tundra plateau, in the land of caribou, wolverine and subarctic flora. Then we find our way into the Yukon's northern Tombstone Mountain range to reach places of stunning beauty. Here blazing fall colours clothe mountain passes and rivers in a land of star-studded skies and flashing northern lights.
