Hi there!
I’m Shannon Martin. I grew up in sunny Western Australia where my love for travel and photography first grew. In 2009 I moved to Banff, Canada thinking I was going to spend a single winter doing some snowboarding before returning home to ‘the real world’. However like many that visit the majestic Rocky Mountains my short time here has grown into now calling Banff National Park home.
My guiding career began with Tourism Western Australia, hosting journalists, photographers, videographers and production crews from some of the biggest media outlets in the world. On arrival in Banff I took a similar job for the Sunshine Village Ski Resort, hosting and guiding many more media professionals. I learned a lot about the history and stories of Banff National Park.
Photography began as a hobby, shooting portrait, landscape, architectural, wedding and action sports shots for fun. My photography career started at The Lake Louise Ski Resort, producing photo and video content mostly for social media. Images from Lake Louise have been published in various ski and snowboard magazines as well as major publications such as the New York Times and Travel and Leisure Magazine. While at Lake Louise I also continued to guide media groups, which is where the idea of combining photography and tours first came about.
In a brief departure from Canada I worked as a ski guide and photographer in Niseko, Japan. I covered everything from backcountry and cat skiing trips to tours and photo shoots in the local sake factory. If you find yourself in Niseko be sure to contact the awesome crew at Niseko Photography, they’ll show you a good time. This experience was a great step towards eventually creating Tours With Photos.
Returning to Canada in I now work as a professional photographer, videographer and digital marketing consultant. Tours With Photos is a new business which takes advantage of my knowledge of the local area combined with my photography skills to provide a unique experience for guests. You can now experience the Canadian Rockies with a professional photographer as your guide! You will receive photos from your day, included as part of your tour.
