The last few months have been a whirlwind tour of speaking events, film productions and photo shoots. It’s been non - stop travel, so it was nice to pull over recently for a week long back country shoot in the Sierras with Peter Croft and Conrad Anker. This was a commercial photo shoot for the North Face. As with most North Face shoots, most of the images are much less “produced” than most commercial shoots, and a more documentary, run and gun style production. It’s a bit difficult to bring a creative director, account manager, art director etc. on location (not to mention lighting and an assistant to bring you a coffee from Starbucks), when you’re trying to chase Peter and Conrad around the high Sierras. The approach becomes a bit more photo journalistic. The goal is to bring back a good mix of images and, hopefully, a couple big inspiring beauty shots as well. It’s usually a good challenge and always a guaranteed adventure when I get to run around the mountains with Peter and Conrad. The week was full of alpine starts, storms and knife edge ridges. Here a couple of my favorite pics from the shoot.” , , ,
