What makes a photograph feel alive?
For Mirae Campbell, it's not just about the action, the location, or even the light.
It's about connection.
On this episode of The P.H.Y.S Podcast, I sit down with adventure and action sports photographer Mirae Campbell, a visual storyteller whose work captures the authentic moments that often happen between the headlines, between the tricks, and between the adventures.
Based in Squamish, British Columbia, Mirae has built a career documenting the people, places, and experiences that define life in the mountains, forests, oceans, and communities of the Pacific Northwest.
A self-taught photographer, adventurer, and creative entrepreneur, Mirae's journey is a testament to what can happen when passion, persistence, and curiosity come together.
Her work has attracted collaborations with some of the world's most recognized brands, including Burton Snowboards, Red Bull, Tourism Whistler, tentree, and many others. Yet despite her impressive portfolio, Mirae remains grounded in what matters most: people, relationships, and authentic storytelling.
Whether she's photographing athletes deep in the backcountry, documenting life along the coast, or capturing quiet moments within a community, her images reflect a deep appreciation for human connection and the natural world.
