River Valley Wilderness in the Yukon | Limited Edition of 10
Winding Yukon River Through Vast Northern Forest Valley
The Yukon has a way of making a person feel small in the best possible sense. Standing above a sweeping bend of the Yukon River, I watched the landscape stretch out in every direction with that quiet northern confidence that seems to exist only in the far reaches of Canada. The river curves slowly through the valley floor, threading its way between gravel bars, small islands, and endless stands of boreal forest. From this elevated vantage point, the entire landscape unfolds like a map—water moving quietly through wilderness that appears almost untouched.
What first caught my attention was the rhythm of the river itself. It bends and shifts across the valley in soft arcs, the current carving its own path through the land over centuries. Patches of sand and gravel form gentle shapes along the inside of each curve, while dark bands of spruce and pine crowd the shoreline. Beyond the river, the forest stretches outward in every direction, a dense blanket of trees climbing gradually toward distant hills and ridgelines.
In the distance, a pale geological formation rises above the forest, catching the light and standing out against the darker tones of the surrounding land. It adds a quiet focal point to the scene, almost like a natural monument placed within an otherwise endless wilderness. Above it all, the sky rolls with layered northern clouds that soften the light across the valley.
I chose to present this photograph in black and white because the northern landscape often reveals its structure most clearly without color. The textures of the forest, the subtle patterns in the river, and the shifting tones of the sky become more pronounced when reduced to light and shadow. The result is a scene that feels both timeless and vast, a reminder of just how much space still exists in places like the Yukon.
This photograph was taken on location while exploring the Yukon wilderness, a place where distances are enormous, and the landscape feels almost untouched by time. Moments like this come from being out in the field, watching the land quietly reveal itself.
Each print is produced using archival pigment inks on museum-quality photographic paper and is personally signed by me. Every piece also includes a certificate of authenticity confirming it as part of a limited-edition fine art print.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
