ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Thick storm clouds roll in over the Bow Valley and the Fairholme Range in Banff National Park. The storm clouds boil up as they roll in over the peaks.

The Spring had been a very cool, gray, and wet period. The cool weather and precipitation had allowed the snowpack to hang on so the annual Spring Run Off hadn't really started yet. The river was so low and running so easily, it allowed me a vantage point out in the river bed, which normally would be underwater, and from there, the view afforded was this spectacular cloud formation boiling up over the valley.

Gita Photos is a Landscape Photography Studio based in Banff, Alberta and Banff National Park a World Heritage Site.

Hi, my name is Ron Hallam. I am truly blessed to be able to live in and work in this stunning location; Banff, Alberta. I closed in and renovated the deck of my condo to be an editing studio. The studio is paneled in Alberta cedar. The main part of the ‘studio’, though, is the Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies!


I hunt throughout the Park to find locations where the natural wonders of the Rockies are illuminated by the natural light of the moment. As one client testimonial put it, I want to offer you “ an instant escape to someplace magical” ( Jane Fedosoff, Toronto, Ontario) Another client commented “Ron's photographs are not just beautiful images of the Canadian Rockies. They are Ron himself – his life experiences, his love for this place and his eye for detail- that show a depth and unique understanding of this special place we are lucky to call home.” (Phil Monod, Banff Alberta)

Every time I make an image, it is the direct result of letting the “something” inside me come up to the surface, and compel me to record that moment of what I’m seeing and feeling. I want to engage you to see the Rockies, and feel the Rockies exactly the way I do. I want to try to have you try to understand and engage with my perspective, and point you to the exquisite, intricate and profoundly intelligent designer - the God who created this natural world.
