23 To be or not to be Shirley Valentine - Thumbnail.jpg

Hi there! I'm Louise 👋, a Photographer and Travel Writer based in picturesque Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the east coast of Canada.

Currently, I'm immersed in a fascinating international expedition, retracing the remarkable journey of Karl Creelman, a young Nova Scotian who, back in 1899, set out on a daring adventure to circumnavigate the globe on his bicycle. So far, I have followed Karl from Truro, Nova Scotia, through New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. I have also completed travel in Ireland, Scotland, Northern Europe, India, and Egypt. Subscribe to the Karl Chronicles and join me on the epic journey as I follow Karl around the world.

I look at the world differently through my camera - not just as snapshots but as stories waiting to unfold. Every photograph is a moment frozen in time, a convergence of emotion and vision that becomes the cornerstone of the stories I write. Whether retracing Karl's historic journey or exploring places near or far, my work is all about blending what I see with the feelings it evokes ultimately fueling my creative journey.

Curious to see the world through my lens? Dive into my portfolio and discover my prints in my exclusive online art shop. When I’m not travelling for the Karl expedition, you may find me in other places near or afar, sharing my adventures as the armchair traveller and writing about my experiences in the GlobeTrotter blogs.

If you want to know more about me, you’ve come to the right place.
