Happy World Glacier Day everyone!

This year I am happy to announce my work about glaciers titled: Anitya Nila (Sanskrit) - The Impermanent Blue, Exploring Alberta’s Wild Frozen Frontiers

“Anitya Nila” takes you deep into the heart of Alberta’s impermanent wild blue glaciers, revealing its raw beauty through technically demanding photography.

Alberta’s glaciers, strung along the spine of the Canadian Rockies, are among the province’s most vital and fragile natural systems—feeding rivers, sustaining ecosystems, and shaping the landscapes we admire today. Yet these ancient bodies of ice are retreating at an accelerating pace due to climate change, with many projected to significantly diminish within our lifetime. Through my photography, I aim to capture not just their striking beauty—the luminous blues, intricate textures, and immense scale—but also their impermanence. Each image is both a celebration and a record, created with the hope of inspiring a deeper connection and a sense of responsibility in viewers, encouraging thoughtful conservation of these disappearing frozen frontiers.

I will be presenting Anitya Nila in Calgary this April! Would love to see you there!!

A magical moment and this has to be one of the best auroras I experienced in the past 10 years. After starting out in Kananaskis, I decided to give this popular Aurora viewing spot a try fully aware of the crowd situation given this was such a big Aurora nite. Arrived on location just before 10pm and got set up just in time for the skies to reach levels of insanity not seen before. This was one of the biggest solar storms in numbers and those 5-10 minutes of sky euphoria made up for the previous nite being cloudy all over Alberta. The active motion with the colors and the pink lined green curtains was so bright and around you and it felt like one could almost put your hand out and touch them. It then broke into overhead coronas that led to a pulsating dance and quietly faded away as quickly as it started. A magical moment etched in memory for ever captured on two different cameras with fisheye lenses.

Last nite was an epic night of aurora chasing that took me across 12 breathtaking locations, covering 600 kilometers in just 12 hours. Armed with 3 cameras, I exhausted 4 batteries, filled up three 256GB cards and a 128GB card, all capturing the magic of the Northern Lights in some of the most iconic spots within Banff National Park.

From the tranquil waters of Bow Lake and Herbert Lake, to the vibrant skies over Lake Louise, Morant's Curve with its famous train, and Castle Junction, the adventure was non-stop. We witnessed stunning reflections at Vermilion Lakes, the lively auroras over Banff town, the serenity of Lake Minnewanka and Two Jack Lake, before finishing the journey at Cascade Ponds and heading back to Calgary. The auroras put on a show for the ages, and some of the most vibrant and active motion seen, triggered by a massive G4 solar storm. A night for the books, with the auroras lighting up every turn of the adventure!

Here’s a few of the fish-eye view of the sky over these iconic spots. A couple of locations were cloudy and foggy though.

I am humbled and honoured to announce that “YATRA” was selected as a finalist and has won the runner-up prize in the Outdoor Adventure category of the Canadian Geographic’s 2023 Canadian Photo of the Year Competition. A big congratulations to all the finalists and winners! A big thank you to Canadian Geographic and Royal Canadian Geographic Society for voting YATRA and to everyone who has supported me over the years 🤗🤗

About YATRA:
YATRA in Sanskrit means journey. Exploring ice has been a journey for me since the impacts of Covid. To experience the beauty of exploring ice caves there is a trade-off with the dangers associated with some of the harshest conditions winter can throw at you and the hidden dangers in the glaciers. I have had to invest a lot of time in learning and developing the skills needed for this type of exploration. This shot reminds me that it does not matter how far you have come in your journey, there is always something more to learn and a lot further up to climb. The beauty of the natural world is worth all those efforts, however hard it can be at times.

Shot Details:
Capture Date: March, 2023.
Location: Banff NP, Alberta, Canada
Camera: Sony ILCE-7RM3
Lens: Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM
Settings: 13mm, 1/100 sec, f/9.0, ISO 80
