WHO WE ARE
ABOUT DÉRIVE
Dérive is a feeling.
a longing for that favorite place, a memory of a moment in time, or an aspiration to explore & see the world.
We are Lindsey & Taylor - photographers and co-founders based in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. Our love for travel, cultures, architecture & nature inspired us to start Dérive Collective.
We believe that art and travel go hand in hand. We are passionate about capturing the beauty of the world and sharing it with others, and we strive to provide a unique take on travel photography that will inspire you to seek out your own adventures.
LINDSEY CANTWELL
Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the days of disposable cameras to getting my first DSLR, my passion for it has only grown stronger. My goal is to focus more on capturing the moment or a feeling, instead of the endless pursuit of perfection. It's amazing to be able to share my journey with others through my photography and make them feel a part of it too. Whether I am exploring a distant location across the globe or skiing at my home mountain of Whistler Blackcomb, you might spot me with my camera in hand, smiling from ear to ear, trying to catch a moment.
