I am an adventure photographer based out of Canmore, AB.

Living in Edmonton the mountains were a far away dream for me as a kid, but mountain biking in the river valley kept me going outside. But, once I turned 16 and got my drivers licence the freedom of driving to the mountains took a hold of me. I've never looked back since. The high places that I would only dream of captivated me, looking up at the high peaks I never thought standing on the summit was even a possibility even in the realm of my imaginations.

Inspired by the likes of Jimmy Chin, John Price, Corey Rich, I combined my passion of photography to try and share the incredible experiences I was having in the mountains. Not only to keep a record of what I did to look back on, but have visuals to my stories in hopes that it would inspire people to explore the mountains.

Right now as an adventure photographer I am learning the skills to adventure, from mountain biking, hiking, to ice and alpine climbing. I think to make a great adventure photographer, you've got to be able to go on the wildest of adventures out there!

I'm always looking to collaborate with other people, whether it be going on a climbing trip or producing creative content feel free to send me an email. cshimizu@ualberta.ca
