23 Year Old Hitchhiker Carries Camera For An Entire Year To Capture Canada’s Wild Beauty
Avid hitchhiker and traveler, Devon Berquist, carried her camera through the mountains, across the prairies, and even into the northern arctic to capture Canada’s pristine wilderness, awe-inspiring landscapes, and fleeting wildlife.
As a young photographer studying at NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she is beginning to find her own place in the photographic world. Often ridden with wanderlust, she traveled her own back yard (Canada) by means of hitchhiking, road tripping, and train hopping, and these are a few of the results.
“Portraiture is my main interest” she says, “but this world is so beautiful and I’m afraid one day I will forget. That’s why I take photographs”.
