A Vancouver native born into the striking beauty of the Canadian west coast, Ross splits his time exploring and photographing areas of his home province while also regularly traveling globally to shoot, usually on solo trips. Favourite subjects are vast landscapes in far northern areas and powerful or unusual mountain scapes and how they react with the sky and universe.

"My preference is to shoot scenes where light and shadows are working together. When these elements are in harmony, they create a powerful, mysterious feeling on a landscape. I'm trying to capture that energy. I want my images to trigger the viewer's imagination in a unique way, hopefully to create a story in their mind."  -Ross Buswell / Atmospherics
