2014 Adventure Photography: A Year in Review

December 29, 2014 by Jeff B. Leave a Comment

The past year has been remarkable and it’s difficult to put it into perspective. I suspect years from now, I will look back on my 2014 Adventure Photography: A Year in Review post with fond memories. My entire life has changed over the past 12 months.

I owe so much thanks to my wonderful clients like Air Canada, Tourism Quebec, and Canadian Tourism Commission; however, the media team at Travel Alberta have been the most supportive. They’ve provided a lifetime worth of opportunities and experiences in a single calendar year. I am so thankful for each of the projects we’ve created! Thank you Travel Alberta.

Beyond my clients, I still feel most overwhelmed by the continued support of my audience both on this website and across my social media channels. My instagram account grew from 4500 followers to 67 000, which is perhaps the most humbling experience I’ve known. Thank you all for following.

Here’s one last look at 2014!

2014 Adventure Photography: My Year in Review

January: Exploring the Powder Highway

2014 Adventure Photography: To kickstart 2014, I hit British columbia's Powder Highway with snowboarders Jeff Keenan and Leanne Pelosi.

February: Whistler Blackcomb #Crowdtrip

2014 Adventure Photography: In February, I visited Whistler Blackcomb to join very good friends at the tail end of their TGR #Crowdtrip

In February, I headed back to British Columbia to join two good friends – Alexander Nylen and Theo Birkner  on the final stop of their Teton Gravity Research #Crowdtrip.

March: Exploring #MyJasper

I spent most of March enjoying the changing weather. Spring like one day, winter storm the next.

In March, I stayed home in Jasper National Park to enjoy the early spring conditions and exploring my own backyard.

April: Goodbye Marmot Basin

April marked my final day with a real job, albeit one that involved more skiing than work.

In April, I worked my final day at Marmot Basin. Despite being self-employed as a freelance photographer and writer, I also worked as a ski patrol at Marmot Basin. It was an on again/off again position, but at various times I worked on the full time, part time, and casual rosters. This season, I’ve become Marmot Basin’s photographer.

May: California, USA

California Redwoods and a long-overdue westcoast roadtrip.

In May, I explored the western USA. The California Redwoods were an instant favourite!

June: #ExploreAlberta

2014 Adventure Photography: the first of many #exploreAlberta campaigns saw me watching sunrise in Canmore at the perfect moment.

In June, the summer #ExploreAlberta Campaigns began and didn’t end until the fall. By the end of the summer, I had traveled more of my home province than I thought possible.

July: Chilcotin Bikepacking Adventure

Equal parts personal experience and business trip, my july trip to BC's chilcotins was truly memorable.

In July, I convinced Canadian Cycling Magazine and three friends that a bikepacking trip to the Chilcotin Mountains was the ideal summer story. The trip began with a floatplane ride to Lorna Lake and I took this image from my sleeping bag.

August: MotorTrends #ExploreAlberta

In August, I helped MotorTrends film an episode of Epic Drives in Alberta. I also had the chance to drive a Nissan GTR.

September: #ExploreAlberta in #MyJasper

First Chris Burkard hit Jasper and asked for a kayaker beneath Athabasca Falls. And then Colby Brown asked to hike into the Tonquin Valley.

In September, I worked on two Travel Alberta campaigns with two of the most inspiring photographers I’ve ever met. First, I spent a brief time with Chris Burkard, photographing a kayaker beneath Athabasca Falls. Soon after, Colby Brown and I hiked into the Tonquin Valley.

October: #CouleursQuebec and #ExploreAlberta

the #couleursQuebec trip was my first as an IG influencerThe perfect sunrise with the perfect group in the perfect place.

In October, I traveled with three awesome friends in two different provinces. LaurenEPBath, Punkodelish, Garry Norris, and I explored the #CouleursQuebec, along with Paul Flemming. Next we headed to Alberta so I could show the group around my home province. Jordan Herschel joined us in Alberta, too, to add to the overall group.

November: Iceland

Northern Lights above Jokulsalon in Iceland.

In November, I traveled around Iceland with Ivan Olafsson, a native Icelander whom I am lucky to call a friend.

We put all our images together on Instagram under #ivanandjeffiniceland

December: @ACHeartsRio

2014 Adventure photography: The year ended with a last minute trip to Brazil.

In December, I flew on Air Canada’s inaugural flight to Rio de Janeiro to help launch their #ACHeartsRio campaign.

What Happens in 2015?

I really hope this post doesn’t seem too self-serving. I had the opportunity for a huge variety of amazing travel opportunities in 2014 and I cannot wait to see what 2015 has in store. I just hope – and plan to work even harder to make sure -that my adventure photography and writing continue to grow.

And I hope that you all continue to appreciate my journey, as I surely appreciate your unwavering support.
Thank you!
