Who the hell is Holden Perpelitz?

My name is Holden Perpelitz, I’m photographer from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I've been taking photographs since 2017 and stumbled into the art by pure accident. In a few short years I’ve been able to travel immensely with a camera by my side, and self publish my first travel photography book entitled Hemispheres.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit beautiful, and far out places such as Peru, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Israel, the UAE, Turkey, Greece, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, as well as some not so far out places such as the United States of America. It was with my thirst for travel that my love for photography fell into place.

“You literally only live once, so why not make it the wildest adventure you can?”

— Holden Perpelitz

Starting out with an iPhone camera, I travelled the back country of Canada extensively, climbing mountains all over British Columbia and Alberta. It was here where I discovered my passion for capturing pure, natural beauty in a lens to show friends how beautiful our home really is. From here my interest stemmed and I picked up my first DSLR camera which I took around the world and back, shooting everything for my first book.
