Whistler Blackcomb is a landscape photographer’s paradise. Scratch that, it’s a paradise for anyone, something that The Beyond Series portrays outright. Photographer David McColm recognized the potential of this powerful place and became inspired by the countless landscapes of the Fitzsimmons Range surrounding Whistler Mountain. McColm’s work has earned him with a reputation as “The Night Watchman,” and captures some of the most striking time lapses of the twilights and aurora borealis amid the Whistler Blackcomb backdrop. Creating these images requires nothing short of total commitment and passion for photography, and the scenic wonder of Whistler is an unmatched inspiration for McColm and countless others.

You can watch the rest of The Beyond Series from Whistler Blackcomb here, and we highly recommend that you do.

From Whistler Blackcomb:

David McColm is not your ordinary Whistler photographer. His masterpiece time lapse images forego the familiar hero shots of big mountain athletes and picture-perfect board models for a more artistic rendition of winter’s playground. Inspired by centrifugal skylines and mountainscapes, McColm’s quest to get the shot captures the microcosmic synergy that thrives in Whistler.
