Mark and Leslie Degner are photographers based in central Alberta, Canada that specialize in, but don’t limit themselves to, photographing western Canada and the Canadian Rocky Mountains. They offer inspiring images that vary from the abstract to realistic, the intimate scene to the grand landscape, and the human element to the breathtaking beauty of nature that surrounds us.
