Winter Wonderland

Canada | Sunday, January 13, 2013 | 5 photos


Feeding my soul as a photographer has always been about capturing and sharing the beauty of the world around me. A love of the outdoors, traveling and experiencing new things, has amplified my passion to share these images.

Growing up in the Canadian prairies, I obtained my first camera at the age of five and have been documenting my life ever since. I went on to complete an undergraduate and graduate degree in fine arts, which sealed my fate. I would make photography my career, knowing full well that I would be giving up many luxuries in my life to do so.

This being said, the sacrifices I have made following my dream to become a professional photographer has led me to a lifetime of amazing opportunities. Highlights include living out of the a van in New Zealand, snorkelling in the Galápagos’, trekking Base Camp Everest, and driving ½ the circumference of Australia.

I currently call the Rocky Mountains home, as a workstudy at The Banff Centre. This mentorship has greatly enhanced my photography skills, most significantly in portraits, which causes me great cause anxiety. If chosen, my aim is to rid other anxieties allowing for more opportunities in the profession.

About mkrauss

After a long day of touring around throughout the Canadian winter wonderland, there is nothing like approaching the backcountry hut you will be spending the night in.  Nestled among the pine and spruce trees, smoke billowing from the chimney, the crisp chill in the air seemingly disappears as you imagine entering into the warmth of the cabins log walls.
