The Disciplines

Two portfolios, one standard

Commercial Campaigns

High-performance gear integrated authentically into rugged, extreme environments. Engineered for technical apparel brands and outdoor equipment manufacturers.

Editorial Landscapes

Expansive mountain ridges, misty coastal cliffs, and remote wilderness studies captured with the uncompromising detail of medium-format film.

The Approach

True environmental context cannot be faked in a studio. You have to carry the medium-format gear up the ridge and wait for the alpine light.
