Picking up a Pentax MZ-3 while living in Japan during my early 20s would ultimately be the early beginnings of my career as a photographer. Fast forward through my previous life working around the world as a chef, I couldn't be happier to be settled back in the Coast Mountains with camera in hand working as a Canadian fine art landscape photographer.

     A British Columbia based professional photographer since 2006, my work is born through exploration and adventure in the British Columbia Coast mountains and beyond. My collection features unique landscapes often captured during multiple day human powered journeys exploring the vast beauty in our mountains.

Taking pleasure in sharing these experiences and fostering a love of nature with my daughters, I also give back a percentage of all sales from this site to environmental initiatives.

I look forward to working with you to bring our vast mountain landscapes into your home or office.

Two weeks later Mike personally delivered and installed our new iconic Whistler artwork. Many thanks."

"We searched for a long time to find the perfect photo for our home office. We are avid skiers and always cherish those blue bird days and fresh tracks at Whistler. Soul Lines is mesmerizing and brings back all of the great memories of ski days past, and generates excitement for those to come. Thank you Mike for this beautiful shot and your amazing talent!"

"Mike Crane has captured in photos what I will call our Whistler Experience – mountains, snow, the outdoors and activity. The vastness of the area suggests that you can’t participate in or see it all, there is not enough time, and the photos carry you to those special places to deliver the feel of being there.  We built a new home and to cover the walls, we selected three of Mike’s large format prints of Whistlers majestic scenery.  We ski and hike the mountains and it is wonderful for us to bring those memories into our home.
