First snowfall in the streets of Whistler 😌

Built in 1972 from wood, canvas, and metal, this plane felt like a time machine 🕰️ No room for my camera bag, just one extra lens and a spot behind pilot Dom. We cracked the window and flew around some of the finest peaks in the area. Man I love this place, completely unreal seeing it from above.

A few days ago, some friends and I decided to set off after dark to hike up to a spot that's been on my bucket list forever. The forecast was calling for heavy cloud cover, but we took our chances hoping they'd settle in the valleys down below. After hiking through the night in a heavy layer of…

My daily driver, a broken Canon PowerShot that comes everywhere with me 🫡 I've been shooting a ton on this little camera for the past 6ish months and most of the time I'm having a lot more fun with it than my main camera. The colours are great, I don't have to mess around with settings, and the…

The spot vs the shot eagle edition 🦅

The days are long, but the years are short. I remember hearing this phrase at the beginning of last year and it has stuck with me. The past year feels like it flew by and I’ve spent the past few days thinking back on it. 2023 was a great year in many ways, but I’m not going to pretend it was’t…

It’s been way too long since I caught a sunset in the alpine so this one felt amazing. Such a nice way to close out 2023 😌 I took these clips along with a few pictures while hiking out from the Whistler slackcountry last weekend. The Black Tusk and the surrounding mountain tops were poking out…

Two years ago I experienced one of the most memorable sunsets of my life high above the Whistler backcountry. I remember riding on the mountain all day before packing my gear in the car and driving to the heliport for sunset. The whole way there I was stressed because of all the Christmas traffic…

Spending blue hour high above the city always feels pretty surreal 😌 🤳: @Ben Poechman

A rainy day in the forest 🌿 Even though the days are shorter and the weather’s been wet, I’ve been trying my best to get out as much as possible and enjoy the last of the fall weather here in Squamish. The forests in Coastal BC have been teaming with life over the past few weeks and they’re…

Magical moments on the island ✨ This year I’ve spent more time than ever before exploring the West Coast of Vancouver Island and it has been awesome. Ever since my first visit back in 2018, the Island has had a special place in my heart. Somehow It’s taken way too long for me to give my head a…

Come camp in the North Cascades with me 🙌🏼 Before this year I’d never spent enough time in Washington to really appreciate it. Then I visited in February and I’ve been back multiple times since to explore more of the North Cascades and see more of the beauty this state has to offer. From barren…

Weekends on the coast don’t get much better than this 🖤 A few of my favourite clips from a sunset on the West Coast of Vancouver Island a couple weeks back. Pretty hard to believe how many places there are around here where you can just post up in the wilderness for a few days and create a little…

A draft from earlier this summer that I totally forgot to post. I heard about this simple “hack” to get a filmy look on photos with nothing but with vaseline and a clear filter so I thought I’d try it out and make a little video to show the process. Enjoy! #photography #photohacks…

Soke of my favourite drone clips to date.. especially the last one 😅 For a long time I really disliked drones because they took up a lot of room in the camera bag and always made me anxious to fly. However, I recently recently got the @djiglobal Mini 3 Pro and have been having an absolute blast…

Sometimes it pays to hike for hours through the fog in hopes of a clearing at the top 😌 We lucked out big time with this one - When we got to the peak, the clouds began to clear revealing stunning 360° views of the North Cascades and the lake down below. We had the fire lookout all to ourselves so…

Sound design makes all the difference and here are 3 reasons why you should be adding it to your videos👇🏼 1. Stand out from the competition - Sound is such an important part of the sensory experience, but it feels like less people are using it in their videos these days. With trending audios…

Boards for breakfast and bikes for lunch. Spring in Whistler can’t be beat 🙌 Yesterday @Mason Copeland @Mikael Ruffini and I took advantage of the spring conditions and hit the mountains for a dual sport day. It’s such a surreal feeling being able to bike and board within the same day and it’s…

Relaxing afternoons down by the creek 😌 After 6 years of editing video content in Premier Pro, I finally decided to make the switch over to DaVinci Resolve. And let me tell you, I have FALLEN IN LOVE with the editing/colouring process all over again. I still have a lot to learn, but I wish I made…

Let’s create some art episode 2 is here! I’m having too much fun making these so I thought I’d make it a regular thing across my social channels. It’s a cool way for me to show a bit more of the creative process and the photo work I create! #photography #a7iv #photovlog #shotvslocation

Fresh tracks on 7th Heaven on a bluebird pow day. Your odds of winning the lottery are higher than scoring a lap like this. Enjoy this clip of @Ben Poechman floating through a winter wonderland ✨ #snowboarding #whistler #bluebirdpowdays #k2snowboards #7thheaven

“Yep they’re still flat as ever” - @soulboarder after stomping this drop 😅 #whistler #snowboarding #a7iv #snowboardphotography

The result of a 3 day blizzard in Southern Ontario - The branches look like massive marshmallows coated in some of the lightest snow I’ve ever seen. I just spent a week back in Ontario with family for the holidays and was reminded how much I love this place. I haven’t been back for Christmas in a…

As a creative, most of the work that I’m really proud of has been passion projects - photos and videos that I’ve created on my own spare time with no timeline, structural input, or pay check from anyone else. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy paid jobs, generally I absolutely love them. I just…

Name a better feeling. I’ll wait.

Hypnotized by falling snow ✨

Best decision I ever made. I’ve been feeling a bit uninspired lately with the lack of daylight and the changing seasons so I figured I’d start putting a bit more time and effort into creating for TikTok to see what comes of it. It’s been so good going through old videos again and being reminded…

Never thought I’d turn into a bird watcher so early in life, but this telephoto lens changed that 😅 Playing around with a new video format on TikTok so let me know if I should do more of these! #sigma100400mm #sonya7iv #baldeagle #birdwatching

Whistler opening day ❤️‍🔥 Man if feels good to be back on the mountain. Shoutout to the crew and Tourism Whistler for the good times #onlyinwhistler

The spot vs the shot pt.3 It’s been a while since I’ve taken out the camera for video content, but encounters like this don’t happen everyday so I figured I’d record it. While fishing in the river by my house I saw this eagle drag a small salmon to shore and start tearing into it. We continued to…
