I think I’ve always been quite an image-oriented person, being much more drawn to imagery than words. As a kid I used to look in magazines and dream of the places I saw. My interest in action and adventure sports started a bit later on, some time in my teens. My best friend and I were crazy about snowmobiling. We used to watch Slednecks movies and dream of one day being in one. It carried on and when we got old enough to get our licenses we took every opportunity we got to go out and ride. It didn’t take long before we started making movies and taking pictures of each other, still dreaming about one day riding with the Slednecks crew. I remember looking at the images and movies in the summertime, dreaming of winter and snowmobiling.

Then I went on to university, moved to a new city and kind of lost touch with both photography and snowmobiling. I studied for about a year and a half until I realized it really wasn’t for me. I dropped out, not really knowing what to do with my time. I picked up snowmobiling again and raced sno-x for a while. And with snowmobiling also came the urge to document it again. I decided to take a few photography classes and did so for about a year.

After I had finished, I decided to pack my car and drive around the country. I lived in my car for a couple of months, photographing everything I did. Eventually I ended up in Åre, Sweden’s ski and bike capital. This was about two years ago and I’ve been photographing ever since. My dream is to one day make my living as a full time photographer. I pray for that day to come!

I am Nicholai Go, a student currently majoring as an Architect in Rhode Island School of Design, the sole proprietor of a business and restaurant in the Philippines called Bar Dolci, and finally the photographer of ngo|photography.

Born and raised in the Philippines, I was not exposed to the fine-art side of photography and therefore it deterred me from starting photography. However, when I learned more and more about the international world of photography, thanks to the internet, I picked up the camera and started shooting.

My personal philosophy on photography revolves around the notion of its power and ability to make people believe. I take advantage of this idea and compel people to look twice and feel a sense of confusion or fear. I want to question the relationship and the boundaries of photography and the human condition.

I am a storyteller and photography is my medium. I use photographs to portray my own stories and ideas regarding the human condition, reflecting my own experiences.  I believe that the concept of the shoot should drive a shoot. The skills involved and needed to accomplish your concept will follow.

I have a vast background in the arts, including drawing, painting, graphic design and dance, which have become my strengths as a photographer. As an artist, I already have a different perspective on the world and the human conditions. As a dancer, I was given the ability to find the right time to capture moments.

Born and raised in Liverpool, England. Educated in Los Angeles, California. Began shooting Surf photography at the age of 30. Home as a surf photographer was with Transworld Surf Magazine from September 1999 - December 2009. Since 2009, home has been in Bali, Indonesia where freelance surf assignments, portraiture and fashion photography is paying the bills.

I was born i 1980 in Barcelon where I live now. I am a self-taught photographer. Between 2004 and 2006 I set up my own studio together with other two collegues. Simultaneously and up to 2007 I worked as a photography assistant with Xavier Garcia, developing projects on still-live advertising, editorial, architecture and sports amongst others.

By the end of 2007 I finally established myself as professional photographer specialized on advertisement, editorial, architecture and sports. My work has been published in both national and international magazines such as: Esquire, Gq, Forbes, Men's Health, DT, Runner’s World, Grimper (France), Klettern (Germany), Refresh Magazine (UK), Climbing (USA), Urbanclimbermag (USA), Al filo (Argentina), Desnivel, Escalar, Euskal Herria, Campo Base, Vértex, PSD (PhotoShop), Huck’s Magazine (UK),SuperFoto, La Fotografia, etc.. 

Growing up in the mountains of western Canada, the outdoors have always felt like home.

Thanks to my crazy adventurous parents, even by the age of four I had been to a long list of far-flung places.

At fourteen I moved with my family onto a sailboat, none of us having a clue about sailing. Together we spent almost seven years sailing around the globe, exploration was my education.

During the sailing voyage I picked up a camera and began photographing the people and places along the way - I’ve been addicted ever since.

Going pro in 2007, as a lifelong athlete and explorer, I gravitated to action and adventure photography.

These days I split my time between commercial work and expeditions to intense places with amazing people.

When not shooting I get outside and enjoy the sports I love.

Since 2013 I call Munich, Germany home, but most days I can be found on the move.

I grew up in Munich, close to the Bavarian mountains, and it is those mountains that have always played a major role in my life. Being outside with my friends was always the thing that motivated me most, be it as a snowboarder back in the days or nowadays as a photographer.
I've never studied or learned photography but I was so impressed and fascinated, how one single image can describe a whole scene, a whole day or even a whole trip. This power of an image caught me straight away and passion became profession. I've finished my university for being a teacher and then went all in - All I wanted to do, is to shoot and create.
The biggest influence on my style of shooting comes from outside the action sport scene. I love to get impressed by creative work from landscape-, architecture- and fine-art-photography. But for me, this was always a little bit too boring to shoot, so I tried to combine those genres with action sport and that's where I found my true love for what I'm doing. Walking through life with open eyes and seeing possibilities.

Growing up in the south of Munich (more precisely in Breitbrunn at the Ammersee) in the 1990s, I was strongly influenced by the Alps that surrounded me. About three years ago, I picked up my first camera and followed my friends into the mountains. It was my passion to highlight the culture and mountains surrounding me.

Recently I have moved to Innsbruck, Austria to combine my studies with my passion for action sports photography. This step has not only helped me become a team photographer for the German Salomon Freeski Team, but has also given me the opportunity to work as a photo intern for downdays’ Freeski Journal and shoot the biggest European freeski events such as Nine Knights and Nine Queens.

I've come a long way and my camera has given me the chance to meet many great people and capture many great moments and emotions. Right now, I’m in my fourth semester studying Management & Economics in Innsbruck. This year I decided to take a break from my photography for a while and fully concentrate on university. Apart from photography, I’m also into mountain biking, climbing, sailing and kitesurfing in the summer.
