Portrait of Jaclyn Tanemura

I’m a Canadian-based photographer, hailing from the province of British Columbia. From a young age, I’ve found a deep respect and awe for nature, as well as a strong interest in cameras.

With some family history in the Rockies and Columbia mountains, I developed a natural curiosity about the area. It wasn’t until my mid-twenties, however, that I began to properly explore the Canadian backcountry. It was there that I discovered the raw energy and power that resides in the mountains. Something clicked. It felt as though I was simply where I was meant to be.

I will always be grateful that photography has led me to pursue a life outside, and thankful that I’ve been able to with the support of my family. When I’m not shooting, I can be found engaged in any of my numerous hobbies – hiking with my husband and our dogs, snowboarding, XC skiing, gardening, reading or writing.
