Photographing the Beauty of Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive
I photographed "Where the Light Falls" while chasing some breaking storms that were making for some dramatic weather. Driving Lake Minnewanka's scenic road, along with taking a detour to Two Jack Lake revealed this beautiful valley with the winding creek leading the scene towards the distant mountains.
The Canadian Rockies are already such a remarkable place to photograph, but adding in these clouds and lighting just makes them that much more gorgeous. Most visitors long for blue skies over Banff, but an atmosphere like this often produces the best images and most memorable landscapes. In this image, towering storm clouds parted just enough for sunlight to reach the valley floor. This drew my eye toward the distant peaks to create a striking balance between shadow and light.
Just like all my Canadian Rockies photography, "Where the Light Falls" is printed using museum-quality materials. This fine art landscape photograph is available in archival paper and HD signature series acrylic and metal finishes. Every print is produced to preserve the rich detail, subtle textures and dramatic lighting found in the scene as I captured it, making it an exceptional addition to homes, offices, lodges and mountain-inspired interiors.
Whether you've explored Banff National Park yourself or simply appreciate the beauty of the Canadian Rockies, this artwork brings one of nature's most fleeting moments into your space.

Fine Art Print Styles
I offer a number of print styles for my fine art nature photography prints. Below are the different styles you can choose from as you consider your art purchase. All formats with the exception of archival paper prints come ready to hang as is without any need for framing. However, optional external framing can be added if desired. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding these print styles. For more detailed information on my print styles, please visit my fine art prints page.
Signature Series Acrylic Prints (Ready to Hang)
If you’re looking for luxury and quality, then choosing arcylic for your artwork will certainly make it stand out! Details from the image emerge from the acrylic in an almost HD-like appearance due due to the transparency layer that is infused with iridium particles and is encapsulated in a layer suspended between the white poly surface and Acrylic. I also offer upgrades to TruLife acrylic and both Lumachrome and Ultra HD acrylic papers.. The final product is finished with a recessed float mount that allows for easy hanging without the need of an external frame creating a modern gallery look that is perfect for any home or office. Additionally, Italian hand-made ROMA frames can be added to any acrylic piece.
Signature Series Chromaluxe Metal Prints (Ready to Hang)
Using a method called dye sublimation, Chromaluxe is my choice for metal prints. Chromaluxe metal prints are created by taking an archival fine art print and infusing it into an aluminum sheet, creating a much more durable and visually stunning product than printing directly to aluminum like other metal print methods. Surprisingly light-weight, Chromaluxe metal prints are resistant to scratching while having that shiny, high gloss look that makes an image pop! Larson Juhl and box framed Chromaluxe metal prints are available upon request.
Signature Series Frames (Ready to Hang)
While all of my mounted print styles come ready to hang without the need of an external frame, sometimes collectors want that extra touch of elegance. For that reason, I offer ROMA frames on all of my acrylic, metal and canvas prints. Plaque mount prints can also be framed with Larson Juhl frames. Standard styles include the Tabacchino line, but other ROMA lines are available on request.
