I got asked the other day if I’ve ever felt like a camera has taken away from me “being in the moment”. I was about to answer, when I paused to give it some further thought. It actually sparked significant reflection on some of my best memories from past adventures. I have them all photographed, and I look back on them often for inspiration. Would my experience have changed without the camera? I still wonder sometimes. I feel the need to pick up a camera when I look at something that’s so breathtaking, my emotions are trapped inside me. It’s an emotion that pierces my soul. I have to take the picture, I have to share it. Photos are powerful. They can tell incredible stories, feed your soul with passion, and communicate emotions seldom felt. Honestly, I don’t know if the camera is a distraction or not; but I do know that my passion for sharing these stories and places is stronger than ever before. I’ll always take the picture.

I once remember hearing that the longest journey we humans make is the inches from our heads to our hearts. I’ve seldom felt this distance shorter than when I’m swinging on ropes with my camera. I’ve known since I was 14 what I wanted to be; An adventure photographer! That evolved, and video soon became my new voice to share adventures. And today I crave documenting authentic stories more than anything else. However a dream can become blurred when life gets too busy. Spending enough time rooted in my core passions, like filming climbing, has been crucial. This is a reminder to always keep room in your life for the passions that close the distance between your head and heart. Let’s chase our dreams together! 💙 @thenorthface #neverstopexploring 📷 @rmardens

Here we are!!! We are happy to announce the official digital release of RESILIENT on April 13th 2023 🎥 (Details to come) Additionally, we are hosting another screening this coming Saturday the 8th of April in Mont-Laurier over at Le Chapeau! More details available in my story. This project has already exceeded many expectations that we had and we can’t thank people enough for the response we’ve had so far. This is a topic that we as a society still struggle to talk about, and yet so many suffer in silence. Now more than ever, this is a story that matters, and @davidouimet_ and I are proud to finally share it with you. Thank you to @guruenergie @cieleathletics @olodgecafepleinair for their support in this project 💙

The costal winds were indeed terrifying. But we hunkered down in a 12x12 hunters cabin with 16 sled dogs and made it out safe in the morning. 100 years after the serum run that saved the Alaskan village of Nome from diphtheria, we departed on the same date, traveling over 1,200 km by dog team along the original trail. This film is more than a reenactment. It’s a story about endurance, trust, and the relationship between humans and dogs that shaped history in one of the harshest environments on Earth. I’m currently deep in post-production, with release planned for late 2026. This is a self-funded independent documentary, and I’m actively exploring partnerships, support, and distribution opportunities to help bring this story to the widest audience possible. If this story resonates with you — or if you’d like to collaborate, support, or discuss distribution — I’d love to connect. 📩 Reach out via email ([email protected]) @caleb.gingras Follow along as I share the journey behind the film over the coming months. #documentaryfilm #documentaryfilmmaker #dogmushing #adventure nationalgeographic

Injuries suck, no doubt about it. There’s seasons where the body must move, and others the mind. Easier said than done! Hang in there @andresmarin22 , I believe you’ll be back even better than before 🙏🏻 Client: @lasportivana #climbing #iceclimbing #athlete

Not everyone understands why we climb, but those who do are the only ones who need to. @pfaff_anna 🎥 @caleb.gingras #festiglace #iceclimbing

One of the greatest survival stories in Arctic history is being told, and I still can’t believe I get to do it. 100 years after the serum run that saved the Alaskan village of Nome from diphtheria, we departed on the same date, traveling over 1,200 km by dog team along the original trail.

🐾 IT’S TIME!!! The Centennial Expedition 🐾 @mushmaine 📍Nenana - Nome, Alaska 2025 I’m currently in a truck, with 16 Seppala Siberian Huskies and our team, all dreaming of the adventure to come. We are about to embark on a 20 day expedition through the Lower Arctic to retrace the original 700 mile serum run of 1925, on its 100th year anniversary during the darkest and coldest days of winter. I not only have the privilege to be a member of this historic expedition, but also to document a story of one of the greatest displays of human and animal resiliency in history. Preparing for filming in -50 degree Alaska has been a calculated process. There will be no shortage of challenges and uncertainty on the journey ahead, but I’m committed to this story and the culture that surrounds it. I’m learning so much, and I look forward to sharing this with you all through a very special documentary. Follow me and @mushmaine for daily updates and to learn more about what this whole journey is about. Thank you to my sponsors who make telling stories like this possible for me 🙏🏻 @nanukcases @thenorthface @shapewlb @momosportsexcellence @asmsports.ca #centennialseppalaexpedition #togo #balto #nome #serumrunof1925 #serumruntonome
