Outdoor Industry Photographer
The Client: REI Co-op
The Role: Marketing Campaign Photographer
The Project: Follow a duo of runners in a three-day run around Mount Rainier for REI's winter marketing campaign with a three-pound camera? Sign me up. I produced documentary-style photographs of their stunningly beautiful, emotional journey in conjunction with a small team of filmmakers. As the only stills creator on the backcountry shoot, I planned and executed shots with the inordinate amounts of flexibility and teamwork that a remote environment necessitates.
The Client: Trails Magazine
The Role: Photographer, Writer, Editor
The Project: From the print-only quarterly's inaugural issue, my fingerprints have been on each iteration. It all started with a commissioned photograph: I was the artistic director and photographer behind an image of zippered pants designed for vulva-owners to pee outside. Since that first photoshoot, I’ve authored stories on outhouses and fastpacking, edited pieces, and, of course, continued to photograph bold, creative outdoor endeavors.
Keeping it print-only, folks.
The Client: Whitewater Stories
The Role: Photographer, Writer
The Project: The storytelling arm of the U.S. National Whitewater Center contacted me, seeking visual-forward personal essays. Say less. Working with the USNWWC's brand content coordinator, I crafted authentic stories from backcountry adventures, from trail running and fastpacking epics to rock climbing trips with the most stunning sunsets and challenging gear logistics.
The Client: Seattle Met
The Role: Photographer, Columnist, Writer
The Project: As purveyors of hyper-local lifestyle content, SagaCity's titles (Seattle Met, Portland Monthly, Houstonia) have a myriad of editorial needs that call on my journalism background: writing across beats, photographing outdoor recreation, fact-checking, and interviewing. I have weekly, monthly, and quarterly travel columns in addition to pitching and receiving assignments for outdoor-related pieces.
