This Photographer Proves Canada Can Be A Magical Place During The Winter

Stevin Tuchiwsky is a photographer based in Calgary, and has spent the last half-decade of his life traveling and telling the story of Canada’s great outdoors. His most recent photographs capture the stunning scenes of winter quietly settling in the West — and it just might make you forget, for one moment, how bleak and discouraging the season can be.

“I think people aren’t aware of all the activities they can do in the winter, or open to trying different things when the seasons change,” Stevin tells.

“I always want my photos to tell a story in the best possible way. If it encourages people to get out and try something new, even better.”
