This striking photograph shows one of the younger members of the 2022 Bow Valley Wolf Pack. Taken in the winter, when their fur is at its thickest, it reveals a gray wolf with piercing yellow eyes, giving off an air of strength and determination.
When I moved to Canmore, Alberta the first thing on my bucket list was to catch a glimpse of the Bow Valley Wolves.
The wolves have had a rough time in Banff National Park. Between the railway, lack of legal protections outside of the Park boundaries and trouble with human interactions, their population had been declining as far back as 2017.
I’m happy to report that from the few times I’ve spotted them, they seem to be doing very well. The alpha male is extremely cautious towards humans and I believe this contributes to the overall survival of the pack.
Using a long telephoto lens and maintaining a safe and respectful distance, I captured this image, “The Stalking Wolf.” The intense gaze and beautiful markings of this beautiful young wolf just pull you right in to this frozen instant.
Wolves have always been important to me personally. Growing up near Algonquin Park in Ontario, I have come across them there on several occasions. Hearing their howls ring through the cold winter air never stops being a thrill.
They hold a spiritual significance across cultures as well, symbolizing loyalty, cleverness, and the untamed spirit of the wild. Wolves can teach us lessons about the importance of family bonds and the delicate interconnection of nature.
“The Stalking Wolf” is available in multiple formats and sizes, including canvas, metal, and lustre prints, ranging from 8×12″ to 24×36″.

Chromaluxe Metal Prints
Metal prints make for a beautiful and modern presentation. The image is printed directly onto an aluminum surface, allowing for crisp high-resolution details and rich, stunning colours. Metal prints are surprisingly light-weight even at large sizes, and appear to pop out from the wall thanks to the foam backing.
They arrive at your house securely packaged with all needed hardware attached and ready to hang. Caring for metal prints is also a breeze. Just give them a wipe-down from time to time with a soft, dry non-abrasive cloth to remove any dust or finger prints.
Gallery Wrap Canvas Prints
Canvas prints are an affordable and attractive option, particularly if you are shipping overseas. Images are printed directly onto a textured canvas surface and stretched across a warp-proof wooden frame.
This results in a rustic appearance that suits nature photography perfectly. As with metal prints, canvas prints are lightweight and easy to hang. You can also wipe them down with a dry cloth to remove any dust.
Lustre Paper Prints
Lustre paper prints arrive rolled in a tube or with a rigid cardboard backing to keep them secure in the mail. Paper prints are ideal for you if you plan to frame and mat the print yourself. Giving you lots of options for matching your room décor.
Lustre paper has a slightly glossy surface that is more resistant to finger prints and glare than true glossy paper. We test printed many different types of paper before arriving at one that would suit this style of photography nicely.
