Canada: Images of the Land

A superb portfolio of pictures by one of Canada’s great photographers. In this exquisitely photographed record of the Canadian landscape, renowned photographer J.A. Kraulis captures the majesty and grandeur of a vast and staggeringly diverse country. Expansive prairies and forests, impressive coastlines, majestic inland lakes and rivers are captured in these images of the land. This magnificent collection of over 200 photographs and captions presents Canada at its most visceral: a flash of lightning exploding across a summer sky; a sudden winter storm descending on an otherwise tranquil bay; the surface of a lake caught in a moment of stillness, mirroring the world around it – scenes of unbridled beauty as captured by one of the country’s most prolific photographers. ‘Canada: Images of the Land’ is a celebration of a country that will inspire urban dwellers and nature enthusiasts alike. J.A. Kraulis, among Canada’s most prolific and talented photographers, was raised in Montreal, where he earned degrees in science and architecture at McGill University. His work appears in magazines such as Audubon, Canadian Geographic and Equinox. He has been the principal photographer of many books, including Grand Landscapes of Canada and Canadian Landscape.
