Rock Slide
This is probably my favourite piece I've done this year. Our first day in Alaska we went on two hikes including this one were we went skinny dipping in Rabbit Lake. As we were getting in the water we listened to these huge rocks slide down the other side of the ridge. It was pretty moving to say the least.
"The glaciers fed the shivers in her mind.
It popped her spine, and sent a clap of thunder to the sides.
That's when I heard the rocks slide."
This was shot on a 6x7 film camera. That means the negative is 4.5 times larger than that of a 35mm. Its super detailed and can be blown up MASSSIVE!

"Balance, Variety, Moderation."
“My mom was and still is my biggest support and hero in my life. In the midst of her fighting and struggling with how to help me find the proper professional support, she wrote on a piece of lined paper "balance, variety, moderation." I still have that piece of paper 11 years later which is crazy, but in some ways I think that was a start of entertaining the idea that someday I would want that in my life and be "better" or have a "normal" relationship with my body in regards to control- but mostly mentally rather than physically. At first I started addressing this piece of paper in regards to food, then exercise and then as I got older I thought about social life, sleep, work, partying etc. It is 3 words that are far too simple for some to probably believe, but for me it’s a little reminder, or piece of hope."

Ryan Muirhead
Have you ever called up the guy or girl who's several paces ahead of you in your career path in order to gain insight? I met up with one of my favorite photographers Ryan Muirhead Photography and had one of the heaviest draw dropping conversations on life and art and how deeply integrated they are for him. Here's Ryan with his favorite Leica, at home in his backyard in Portland, Oregon.
Wow thank you LATER. Magazine for the kindest words I’ve received from anyone in the industry this far!
“Alex Guiry shoots with a unique intensity that makes him one of Canada`s best up and coming young photographers. His photos make you feel. And bleed. And cry internally with laughter and sadness. If I wasn`t under 100 deadlines I`d write a fucking novel about him. ” - Andrew Sayer

Silent Retreat with Logan Landry In Big Sur. If your in Whistler this Friday make sure to check out my exhibition at the State Of The Art gallery during World Ski & Snowboard Festival for more surf, travel, and art!
After traveling and meeting tons of rAdICAl people, nothing beats hanging out and surfing with your friends at home.
Go pre-order the new DESILLUSION magazine. I’m going have some photos and writing published in the next PURSUIT OF FLOW issue. DSL Mag is a skate culture magazine, curated by an artist himself. So there should be lots of boobs, surfing, black and white film, and fashion inside.
I wouldn’t tell you to spend 18 bucks on this if the magazine was shit, and I wasn’t proud of myself.
Sold this framed photo from a show the other day. I have some work in Sitka Vancouver available, as well other nude work at home. Let me know info@alexguiryphoto.com
Next week a handful of photos from my travel work will be on display, and for sale, at the Sitka store in Vancouver. Thanks guys!
