Everyone wants to be a landscape photographer. It’s a tough gig, but a few Vancouverites are standing out from the background on the ‘Gram.

Have a look for yourself who captures the best landscapes of the PNW.

Earlier today I joined @samsungcanada here in Vancouver for the regional launch of their new TV, #TheFrame. The concept of taking a photo in the morning and later that same day having that image on display as a piece of art of my wall, is incredible! If you’re in Vancouver the next few days, head down to the installation on West Cordova street and see them for yourself! In the meantime I’m very excited about my next project with Samsung, stay tuned! #ArtHasANewCanvas #SamsungInfluencer

Calum is widely known as Vancouver’s most famous adventure and travel photographer. With over 750,000 followers on Instagram alone, he has the largest travel-related social media presence in Canada. He’s putting BC on the map one IG post at a time.

I’ve always been fascinated by the overwhelming sense of scale that mountains bring, just being in their presence demands respect

The hours between 12am and 6am have a funny habit of making you feel like you’re either on top of the world, or under it.” – Beau Taplin ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Guess which feeling consumed us here.

Just a PNW kid with a camera. Ryan travels across Cascadia capturing banger after banger and sunset after sunset. His landscapes provide excellent inspiration to plan West Coast road trips.

We are the dancers, we create the dreams.

Concealed from the stunning views of Jones Lake on social media are the shorelines covered in garbage and broken glass. Trash that can so effortlessly be carried out is instead buried in sand, hidden under logs, or left out in plain sight for others to deal with. This trend has already ruined Keyhole Hotsprings by habituating wildlife with trash and food remains, and it now threats many other once-hidden gems in BC that I have enjoyed over the years—all due to laziness and lack of responsibility. Please do your part in minimizing your impact when camping in these pristine places by always packing out what you packed in.

Armed with his Sony A7RII and a sense of adventure, there’s nowhere Eric won’t go for a great photo. Whether it’s a stunning 3 am astro shot or a gruelling road trip to catch the eclipse, you can dodge the discomfort and live out the experience through Eric’s amazing photos.

Your move, Toronto. #WestCoastBestCoast

From Denali, Alaska to Yosemite, California, Brayden has captured landscapes all across the coast. As a pure-blooded Vancouverite, his local shots are some of his best showcasing the gems of the city.

When I first saw this mountain I imagined it as a giant spaceship launching up through the clouds ☁️🚀☁️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I still can’t get over this flight with @talkeetnaair 😭❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #AllAboutAdventures

Aimlessly walking around the sand dunes, soaking up the last bit of sun before a cold night under the stars.

Landscapes of every colour under the sun, Taylor’s feed is like a colour wheel of inspiration, who knew the earth was such a rainbow.

Looking down at unbelievably blue lakes and networks of streams and rivers while flying into the heart of the Muskwa Kechika. One of few remaining wild places left on earth.

From a wonderful June day, deep in the frozen backcountry of the southern Garibaldi ranges with great pals. Summer in the mountains doesn’t always look so summery. This day was around 30°C and the icy water under our bums was more than welcome❄️🍑 Photo by @compass_heli_tours
