I first picked up a camera at age 14 and fell in love with photography. I practice shooting sports like  Motorcross and, for fun, would shoot the World Rally Champs when it came to New Zealand once a year.  It was on film back then so it was always so exciting to get the pictures back from the photo lab to see what pics I got. A great way to develop skills as a teenager. I love creating; my whole career has been in the image industry. After training in professional photography, the early days saw me working at one of New Zealand’s top audio/visual production companies creating, developing and producing product launches for New Zealand’s largest corporations - using various types of multi-media from theatrical lighting, to video/slide projection and interactive graphics, to set design and the most fun, pyrotechnics. Followed by a stint in the television industry.  
I soon had this desire to run my own photography business; I now work with clients and agencies on projects that include advertising, portraiture, people, lifestyle, sport and extreme sports.
I have been lucky to shoot many of the top athletes from around New Zealand, as well as the world, and I’ve worked in environments with snow, dirt, mountains, oceans and even in studios. 
I spend my spare time mountain biking, surfing, snowboarding, Foiling, kitesurfing and maintaining some local mountain bike trails in the famous Whakarewarewa Forest in Rotorua, New Zealand.

It's a busy life.

I was born in Czestochowa, Poland on November the 20th 1986 – in the city located at the north side of the biggest climbing area in Poland - Jura. It was only a matter of time before I started to climb and explore the outdoor possibilities of the area. During my teenage years climbing became my true passion.
I was inspired by the rocks around and was always eager to climb another eye-catching line. As soon as I got my first camera from my father, who is also a photographer, I found out the great joy in creating long-lasting memories by shooting pictures.
Both – climbing and photography – can be symbiotic, and since I was able to get some first good looking shots at an early age, I became more and more passionate about taking a camera at the crag every time.

Nowadays I'm still an active climber trying to spend free time either at the crag or in the mountains. A couple of years ago, I quit my job as a web analyst and decided to take a chance of being a full-time photographer. I'm focused mostly on the outdoor world, trying to picture passionate people doing what makes them happy - be it climbing, mountaineering or any other activity.
With every picture, I'm trying to show something more than just an athlete. As photographers, we have only one frame that freezes just a split of a second, and it's important to show something more in it. With every shot I make, I always try to create an image that will look great in large format on the wall.

I am a commercial and editoral adventure photography that lives in Auckland, New Zealand, but can more often than not, be found scrambling around the hillside or through the bush somewhere far less built-up. 

My start into photography was rocky, not having started until after high school when I could begin affording my own gear. I went on to do a degree in photography, only to be kicked out half way through for bad attendance. I guess getting out there and being in the moment with a camera in hand was more important!

I've gone on to turn my passion for Mountain Biking and Cycling into a lifestyle, and become one of New Zealand's leading MTB Photographers, having numerous magazine covers, published bodies of work, as well as working for some of the industry’s leading brands, locally and abroad. 

I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russia and was crazy about traveling and extreme sports since childhood. I started skateboarding at 15 and after few years tried snowboarding, which I fully felt in love with right away. Few years later, while competing on a snbrd contest, I got injured and had to hold on with a board for a while. In this period my girlfriend gifted me the first camera - fully manual 35mm Zenit ET. So I started learning photography by scrolling tonnes of web pages during the night, while during the daytime I had to combine my work at architectural bureau with my diploma in the University. Yet tried to practice with roll of film every free minute. 

Aa a photographer I grew up working with different film cameras and it was something very special. Enjoying the process of getting the shot and a magic moments of waiting until you develop the film. In that time I discovered the pleasure of photography and decided to change my hobby into the part of life. 
I'm also keen on urban exploration and rooftop climbing. In my photos I wanted to create something unique that no one had done before by combining that skills with photography and action sport. Different pictures that would really impress people's minds. Traveling around the world, exploring new territories, climbing on the roofs, up trees and electricity poles, to get the best possible location and angle for the shot.
Now I'm surrounded by 2 of my life passions - snowboarding and photography, still sponsored as a rider in Russia and shoot around the world for worldwide brands and best snowboard magazines.

41 years old. 23 years of snowboarding experience. 8 years of photo history. I like taking pictures with children, climbing (scenery), snowboarding, skiing, skating, etc.

The unrepeatable moments captured in well-advised compositions through the lens of Czech photographer. In his 30 years of age, Jan Kasl, based in Prague, works with well-known global brands and has produced many successful projects. There was a moment, back in the old days, when he realized the great potential of photography itself. That it's not only about perfect timing or capturing the single unique moment in epic weather and light conditions, but there’s way more! He has found out, that it’s the best way to show all of his creative ideas and present these moments differently, with no borders of imagination. For him, It‘s always fun to think conceptually, explore new and undiscovered techniques and push his skills to the next level. “My passion for action sports connected with photography has brought me into the world of professional athletes, breathtaking performances, inspiring people and amazing places all around the planet.”

He uses unique angles, bold colors, strong graphics and dramatic lighting to capture fleeting moments of passion, gusto, flair and bravado in the outdoors. Balancing extreme action with subtle details, striking portraits and wild landscapes, he creates images for the editorial, advertising and stock markets worldwide. 

As a former physicist Michael has worked on both sides of the technical revolution – helping refine the technology and using it for his current profession. Michael has worked as a professional photographer since 1996 and added digital photography to his repertoire in 2003. While Michael still shoots some film, mostly medium format, the lion’s share of his images are now produced with high-resolution digital cameras. 

He has been featured in Digital Photo Pro (December 2011), Outdoor Photographer (September 2001), Nikon World Magazine(Summer 2006), Digital Photographer (UK, 2010), Rangefinder Magazine (May 2010), and New Mexico Magazine (2007) for his work with extreme sports. Digital Photo Pro proclaimed Michael a "Master of Adventure" Photography in their 2011 Masters issue. 

I have been putting myself into the world of action sports since 2000 and have been stuck in there until now. Working with FISE UP Magazine, and Japanese major astronomy/ski magazines, was a great experience for me to boost up my career as an action sports cameraman. 

I love to challenge or shoot images no one would even think about. 
The angle, style, color, smell… but the feeling, when all my energy and power focuses to ONE shot, connecting with the athlete is just beyond words. 

Nara Prefecture, where I was born and raised, never snowed.
My career started when I moved to Ishikawa Pref. for my university and I stated free-skiing and aggressive inline skating. I got into it. I became an official Icelantic athlete from 2016, and now working closely with Icelantic Japan team. I am a photographer, but an athlete at the same time. 

In Japan, action sports are still considered a very minor sport. 
If my photos can help boost up more popularity of action sports, here in Japan, there couldn’t be anything that makes me happier. 

Growing up as a vagabond of sorts, constantly moving and traveling has led to a serendipitous discovery of the camera. Currently residing in Bishop California, the gateway to the Eastern Sierra, has kept me moving through the mountains.

Much of my time in life has focused on chasing moments in one way or another. Searching for that defining space when one stops thinking and is just doing. Originally schooled as a biologist, this paired with a life in the mountains naturally results in work that explores the connection between people and the environment. The landscapes in which we play are imperative for humanity.

In this time of a rapidly changing climate, I strive to influence more conscious and progressive visual storytelling through both still photography and filmmaking. I’ve been grateful to work with a wide breathe of clients including Patagonia, Redbull and Audubon Magazine.

Tristan ’Shu’ Lebeschu lives in the heart of the French Alps, nearby Annecy. His photographs cover outdoor sports, aerial, landscapes, interiors, portraits and lifestyle. His pictures, rich in contrast, colors and extreme action brought him international recognition in magazines such as National Geographic, Courrier International, Paris Match, The Times, GQ, Chasseur d’images. At ease with natural light or flashes, Tristan has developed his own signature style, he is an ambassador for the brands Elinchrom, Fujifilm and PNY.

My earliest experiences in photography were spent capturing the outdoors and natural environments.  Not much has changed, except that over the years I began incorporating more humans into those landscapes.  This began with documenting my own adventures in climbing and mountaineering, and expanded into planning conceptualized shoots with athletes on climbs or in environments that had aesthetic appeal.

I am most inspired by images that depict an athlete performing amidst a sweeping, dramatic landscape, but I have grown to appreciate the raw emotions and human interactions that occur in and around adventure sports. The entire story can rarely be told in a single image, and I enjoy documenting the full editorial process including before and after, behind the scenes, and the lifestyle surrounding a sport.  

I spent the majority of my formative photography years documenting the climbing community in China, and have been fortunate to have had a number of images published in climbing magazines across multiple continents. Today, I am based in the SF Bay Area, where photography is just one of my various hustles, among developing my technical scientific skillsets. Moving forward, I'm excited to continue exploring the mountains and ocean with the lens, while also expanding my portrait and studio photography work.

I was born and raised in the South-West Coast of France and started being interested in photography as a child. As I have always been inspired by the ocean, I started to shoot surfing, but mostly the ocean itself, with its movements, rhythm, colors, and its whims, which today, still fascinates me.

After high-school, I chose to study graphic design to expand my repertoire and mostly my vision, it helped develop my own eye and interpretation of a moment.

I try mostly to focus on different angles, in and out of the water, to show what people don't want to see or to show. What fascinates me about photography is the ability to freeze a moment that a lot of people have seen, and show it in your own way. We could be 20 people shooting at the same place, no one will get the same result.

At the age of 19 I bought my first camera from my first salary. My passion for skateboarding led me to take my first action shots. They looked terrible.
Over time I learned more and more about the technical and artistic aspects of photography. 
I extended my equipment by a few cheap lenses and built my first flash system out of old analog flashes and the cheapest radio system.
Then it really started...
My next contact point was a private school of photography. I learned how to handle real flash systems and sinfully expensive cameras. I was even allowed to borrow a Hasselblad for the weekend to take some skate photos. This was my highlight at that time.
After graduating, I studied visual communications. The art of photography, especially sports photography, has been accompanying me from the first camera until today.
I work full time for O'NEAL. Due to my job, I have the possibility to turn my biggest hobby into my profession. 
I have the world's best athletes in front of my lens and the opportunity to do every day what I've been dreaming of all my life.

I grew up in the heart of the Alps, the famous Arlberg. Some years ago I moved to Innsbruck to pursue my photography and broaden my skills. I took my first photos with my mum’s camera, to document my friends and my backcountry kicker building adventures and first steps in the park! At the age of 16, I used my hard-earned savings to buy my first DSLR, and I took it everywhere with me. It was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. Although my main focus is on snowsports, I admire any kind of pursuit that people follow with passion. I have been very lucky to experience some incredible adventures and witness people pushing their limits in their quest for perfection. My quest is to capture those perfect moments, when everything comes together for just a split a second. I have searched for those moments across a range of different sports, from snowboarding and skiing, to surfing and mountainbiking, to skateboarding and downhill longboarding. As all of these sports involve varying terrain and environments, it lets me draw a large amount of inspiration from the actual scenery and the uniqueness every rider brings along in style, personality and choice of trick or line. Photography has taken me to many places I would have never dreamed of. With my constant pursuit of capturing those moments, I hope there are many more adventures yet to come.
