Hot Shots: Top Rocky Mountain area Instagrammers
Capturing the rugged terrain of the Canadian Rockies, these three photogs are stars of dramatic Instagram landscapes.
Photographer Kyle Hamilton’s feed features an engaging mix of his photography work for clients and his personal explorations of the back roads and trails in and around his home of Fernie, British Columbia. This spellbinding highway shot captures the Piegan - Carway Border Crossing, which connects the town of Babb, Montana to Cardston, Alberta.
Jasper-based teacher Brigid Scott takes full advantage of her proximity to the Canadian Rockies, spending her summers camping and exploring mountain trails and her winters discovering her natural surroundings by skiing and snowshoeing. We love the pinky glow of this early morning shot she took of Berg Lake in Mount Robson Provincial Park.
Landscape and adventure photographer Paul Zizka focuses on sharing what he describes as “under-documented” scenes from around the world. Zizka captures compelling images of destinations ranging from Greenland to Hawaii, but his love for his home in Banff is evident from the regular appearances the national park’s landscapes make in his feed. This downward perspective on Cascade Falls, which can be spotted from the highway just south of Banff proper, provides an especially dramatic vantage on a well-loved attraction.
