Location: Lake Louise, Alberta
Limited Edition Of 200
The Cabin
The Cabin is an image I chased for many years. Setting up the camera and finding a composition was the easy part. The hard part was aligning my dream conditions. I needed a large snowfall, enough to coat every single tree coinciding with a glacial lake that hadn’t frozen over yet. For years, during the first snowfall of the year, I set out to find these conditions. Either the snow was too light or the lake was covered in ice and snow.
Finally one fall, we had an extremely early season first snowstorm. Oct 3rd to be exact. With the highway closed east of Canmore, this was my chance to head west. I woke up early that morning as I knew the roads would be in terrible shape. After a tedious 2.5 hour drive through unplowed roads, I finally arrived at Lake Louise. I set up the equipment and tripod well before sunrise. This was my time to enjoy the location and wait for the best light. Not surprisingly, I was all alone. So peaceful. So quiet.
I wanted the viewer to feel how calm this moment really was. A long exposure of 30 seconds was the trick. It’s within this time where the magic happens, when you slow the shutter speed, it allows every little ripple in the lake to smooth out and create a painterly reflection.

The Process Behind Fine Art Aluminum
White Aluminum: All of our pieces are made using a special printing process where ink is heat transferred directly onto a single sheet of white aluminum. We use this aluminum due to the luminescence of the metal surface and guarantee of lasting a century without any fading. The finished product has a brightness, colour vibrancy and clarity that cannot be rivalled with any other printing technique. Each piece also comes with a backing that gives the photo depth and allows it to float elegantly on your wall.
Finish: Each piece is finished with a unique Anti-Reflective coating developed specifically for fine art photography. The anti-reflective finish is perfect for a wide range of lighting situations while still producing a bright and vibrant image. The finish also includes a special UV coating to fully protect the piece from exposure to direct sunlight.

Limited Edition means there will only ever be 200 pieces (any size) produced of The Cabin. As the piece sells, the price increases. Once the edition sells out, there will never be another reprint of this photograph.
