Ottawa / Gatineau ...My Backyard. Celebrating 200 years.

Ottawa is more than Canada’s capital—it’s a place where history, culture, and natural beauty come together in a way that feels both inspiring and deeply personal. From the striking Gothic Revival towers of Parliament Hill to the scenic pathways that wind along the Rideau Canal, the city offers a rich blend of architectural heritage and outdoor charm. Proudly calling Ottawa home means appreciating not only its iconic landmarks, but also its vibrant neighbourhoods, historic buildings, and thoughtfully preserved green spaces that make everyday life feel connected to something greater.

What truly sets Ottawa apart is how effortlessly it balances urban sophistication with natural tranquility. Whether exploring the lush trails of Gatineau Park just minutes away, or strolling past world-class institutions like the National Gallery of Canada, there’s a constant sense of discovery. Being proud to be from Ottawa means celebrating a city that values its past, embraces its present, and protects the landscapes that make it uniquely beautiful—a place where architecture tells stories and nature invites you to be part of them.

The Commissariat Building:

Home of the Bytown Museum since 1952. Built in 1827 as part of the Rideau Canal construction project, the Commissariat Building was a central hub and place to store food, money, supplies, and offices for the Rideau Canal. It continued to service the canal and its workers thereafter. The building was property of the British military until it was transferred to the Province of Canada in 1856.

About Original Capturz and Celeste

Our Commitment to nature🌿

Originalcapturz is the online gallery of Ottawa fine art photographer Celeste Reisinger, creator of Original Capturz. Recognized internationally with Honourable Mention awards from the International Photography Awards in both 2020 and 2023, her work captures the beauty of Canadian wildlife, flowers, landscapes, and historic architecture through artistically enhanced fine art photography. Original Capturz currently ranks among the Top 100 Most Popular Sites on Artists in Canada, reflecting growing recognition for its painterly nature imagery, museum-quality giclée prints, and dedication to environmental awareness, with 1% of every sale supporting environmental causes.

Founded in Ottawa in 2020, Original Capturz is the culmination of over 20 years of photographing the natural world and built environments with patience, curiosity, and a keen sense of light.

Based in Canada’s capital, the work focuses primarily on Ottawa proper and the Ottawa Valley, capturing wildlife, florals, waterways, historic architecture, and the quiet moments in between.

The approach is intentional and respectful: no staging, no disruption, no chasing ducks for “the shot”. Each image is created with an emphasis on preservation, balance, and authenticity, celebrating nature as it exists rather than as it’s forced to perform.

Every piece offered is produced as a fine-art paper print, designed to be framed and enjoyed for years to come—quiet, lasting work for people who notice details and care where things come from. We are also starting to include Museum Canvas as an option.

This Ottawa Photographer is honored to share these moments with you.
