Listo por acá por un fin de semana pegado a #UTMB Listo por acá por un fin de semana pegado a #UTMB. Para empezar la fiesta, unas caras de sufrimiento del fin de pasado en Alhué City.

Plugged into a weekend watching #UTMB coverage. Here’s a few pain cave faces from last week’s race in Alhue to get the party started.

Snaps from this Saturday shooting the Alhué Trail race some 100miles south of the Santiago big smoke. Heaps of late winter rain in the mountains turning our semi-desert green. Great road trip down. Top craic with the Débiles trail team on the way back. 📷 🍻

A bit of the mid week backstage prep that goes into a trail running photo shoot in the Andes. All in Spanish but a few tips on shots based on time of day, angle of the light, course and slope profile. Map nerding at its finest.✌🏼

Rode my bike out into the hills a couple of hours before sunset last night to get set up for taking photos of the annual trail nocturno race organised by @latitudsurexpedition. Back home around midnight and had these edits ready around 2am. Pretty cool to head out for an activity in the mountains with all the creative tools in your rucksack to create something new before the sun comes up again.

It’s #globalrunningday. Here’s a snap of my pa It’s #globalrunningday. Here’s a snap of my pal @felipecancino running the stegosaurus’s back on our 2020 expedition into Chile’s Colorado Valley, supported by @fundacionplantae and @patagoniachile.

Along the way Felipe and @viviana_callahan made an ascent of previously unclimbed 4547m Cerro Bajo mountain. 

Our trip’s goal was to raise awareness and create media assets for the grassroots @queremosparquecl campaign. They have spent over three years lobbying the government to protect this wildest of valleys and the adjacent Olivares Valley to create a Peak District sized 142,000ha national park on the doorstep of the nation’s capital. The move would democratise mountain access in this long and socio-economically disparate country where the majority live a four plus flight from the famous Patagonian parks. 

The campaign continues. 

Link to one of the stories I wrote about the campaign in my bio.

Pero la vida de un surfista se trata de mucho más que su momento brillante arriba de la ola.

Retratará las motivaciones del destacado joven surfista Chileno @cristofher_tapia mientras se prepara en su pueblo Pichilemu para surfear los monstruos de El Niño.

This year the massive El Niño phenomenon is dumping monstrous surfable waves along all the hotspots of the South American coast.

But the life of the surfers in these coastal villages who are dropping into these waves is more than just that fleeting brilliant moment in the sun.

Really excited to share this teaser from a new documentary 🎥 we are filming this summer. It tells a compelling story of the young Chilean surfer @cristofher_tapia, his introduction to the ocean, his rise to surf the most inside lines at Punta de Lobos and the reasons he seems to be fearless in the face of El Niño’s monsters.

It’s taken me many years to realise; but the ocean is just another kind of mountain.

Photo from the huge swell at Punta de Lobos yesterday. Third day of filming the surfer @cristofher_tapia. Slowly but surely this project is growing into something special.

Desde ya se puede ver el cortometraje Ojos del Sal Desde ya se puede ver el cortometraje Ojos del Salado Sky Race en Vimeo (enlace en mi bio). Este relata la historia de la carrera de trail hacia la cumbre del volcán mas alto del mundo.

Fun un camino largo para un chico de un país donde la montaña más alta es de solamente 987m sobre el nivel del mar aclimatarse para grabar a 6490m. Pero fue unas de las aventuras más power de mis 12 años viviendo en Chile. 

Muchas gracias a @latitudsurexpedition por la confianza con el proyecto y a los protagonistas @domivillarino y @jaimehume por su tremenda buena onda y disposición.

You can now watch my new short film Ojos del Salado Sky Race on Vimeo (link in bio). It tells the story of the two Chilean runners @domivillarino and @jaimehume and their journey to compete in the inaugural race towards the 6893m summit of the world’s highest volcano. 

Getting acclimatised just to shoot this was quite a challenge for a lad who grew up a good 300miles from his country’s highest peak, standing some 987m above sea level. 

Many thanks to the tremendous race organiser @latitudsurexpedition for trusting in me with the project. By far one of the wildest and most logistically challenging adventures from the last 12 years living and working in Chile.

Hope you enjoy and come back and leave us a message in the comments. 🙏🏼🏔️

Tomorrow along with @latitudsurexpedition we are going to be sharing our new film Ojos del Salado Sky Race. It follows the story of Chilean 23 year old running prodigy @domivillarino and her 63 year old counterpart @jaimehume as they adventure to compete in the Americas’ first and highest trail race on 6898m Ojos Del Salado volcano above the Atacama Desert. Unless you’re super psyched to catch it at 20:00 Chile time (1am UK!) you can grab the nine minute docu on Vimeo on the link I’ll be sharing in my bio. Thanks!

Thanks a lot to @joshydoc for his expert medical advice on high altitude adaptation; and also to coach  @claudio_nieto_ for his comments on what led to Chilean running prodigy @domivillarino taking the outright win on the world’s highest volcano. 

Popped a link to the 8 page feature story “The Sky’s the Limit” in my bio. (Best viewed on a PC rather than a phone.)

Oh and keep tuned next Monday night. Along with race producer @latitudsurexpedition, we’ll be sharing our brand new 9 minute documentary film Ojos del Salado Sky Race. 🎥

🇨🇱 Hace una semana, grabando antes del tem 🇨🇱 

Hace una semana, grabando antes del temporal en el observatorio atmosférico de @cr2.uchile en Tres Puntas, Valle Nevado. Muy interesante que tenemos tan pocos conocimientos de la lluvia que cae en la cordillera; y que este observatorio sirve como un centro independiente para medir la contaminación de Santiago y de la actividad minera colindante a los glaciares que representan los recursos hídricos de mitad del pueblo Chileno. Gracias @zoelfleming por la invitación y a @robertorondanelli por haberme recibido! 

🇬🇧 

Last week I got an invite from my pal the atmospheric chemist @zoelfleming to head up to the @cr2.uchile research station at 3800m above the Valle Nevado ski resort. 

In the video, the scientist Roberto Rondanelli explains that Chile just really doesn’t know how much rain is falling now in these times of “mega drought” in the country’s central belt. With last week’s approval of a new underground mine and associated emission chimneys to be mounted 300m from the Paloma glacier and surrounding bodies of ice that supply 50% of the country’s population with their water supply, its good to know at least that there are independent measurements of precipitation and particulate matter pollution being taken here.

Muchas gracias al autor de la ruta  Álvaro Vivanco por la inspiración y por haber compartido el GPX.

Opino que podríamos mirar un poco menos a los senderos perfectos que tengan en la extranjera y hacernos amigos con los acarreos, farellones, penitentes y rocas filudas que hace nuestro territorio lo menos explorado y por ende lo más emocionante a conocer que cualquier otro. Viva Chile mierda.

I gave my first ever photography class this week. I gave my first ever photography class this week. It was kind of a trial run for a project I’m hoping to package properly later this year. Enjoyed it. Think the student got something out of it too. If nothing else, that shooting RAW, pulling focus and going manual makes life both a lot harder than shooting with an iphone; but also offers heaps more possibilities. 

The class got me thinking about how as photographers we still have very powerful and versatile tools at our disposal when compared to the basic telephone-camera everyone carries around in their pocket. 

If anyone is worried that telephone cameras are going to put us out of business, I think we need to maybe get more creative and also lean into what we know instinctively as creatives about composition, working with light and strong visual storytelling.

Made this photograph in a typical run and gun moment on Saturday whilst working for @gravelpunks. It’s not going to change the world but I really like it, and hopefully  sits nicely as a quiet medium-long shot amongst the set of 130+ more aggressively frame-filling testosterone shots I submitted in my set. Must have had about 6 seconds tops to set this photograph up, but made a heap of deliberate decisions in that short window about how to shoot it. 

Not sure anyone knows the iPhone settings to get a similar result 😅. Do whack me a message below if I’m well off cue though. 

Long live the dedicated photographic camera. ✌🏼

Went for a ride a few weeks ago with @tito.nazar, one of the directors of Chile’s @gravel.punks bike race and he gave me these instructions when I asked him to sum up what he wanted me to capture in three words.

Winner @isisolari in this photo enjoys a well earned fag and brew shortly after smashing all competition at this mega 8 hour gravel race in Chile’s coastal mountains this Saturday.

Fun to come at each project with a different idea whilst diving ever deeper into the colour grading options of Lightroom 🤯 .

We are going to England baby!

Delighted to announce our film Wala, filmed in deepest Tierra del Fuego in 2020, has been selected to play this coming March 3-5 at @sheffieldadventure Sheffield Adventure Film Festival. We’ve re-cut the film slightly and added English subtitles for the Spanish language sections.

Estamos muy felices de contarles que la próxima parada de nuestra película Wala va a ser en Inglaterra. Grabada en el extremo sur de Tierra del Fuego en territorio Chileno en 2020, se va a estrenar en el gran Sheffield Adventure Film Festival @sheffieldadventure el próximo 3-5 de marzo. Hemos vuelto a editar la película para un público extranjero y agregado subtítulos en inglés.
Seven years have passed since I last penned a stor Seven years have passed since I last penned a story for British adventure journal @sidetracked. With @jwdonald we’d just tried to (unsuccessfully) run the fastest time for the 100km lap around Torres del Paine.

Today Sidetracked published another story from Patagonia, on bikes this time, and a @fireflies_patagonia 1000km ride through Chile’s Aysén region. There’s a common theme in both of cowboys, long knives and sweat.

Hadn’t been down to the northern cusp of Patagonia for this race since DNFing in 2015 when attempting to run through shin deep ash from the recent eruption of neighbouring Volcan Calbuco. The dust has settled now though and after a few years off for the pandemic this race is clearly back. Maybe whip out the running shoes again and leave the camera at home for the 2023 edition. ✌🏼

Domi Villarino @domivillarino, @thenorthface Chile Domi Villarino @domivillarino, @thenorthface Chilean athlete, a second from becoming the overall winner of the world’s highest ever trail race this Tuesday on the Ojos del Salado Volcano.

Villarino ran from the Atacama Refugio at 5250m to the 6480m finish line in two hours forty seven minutes beating all rivals. 

Deep snow prevented a finish on the 6840m summit this year. But the psyche is high for a drier November 2023 edition that will push to the very top of the world’s highest volcano. 🏔️

It’s also the world’s highest volcano and, just shy in height of the Andes’ highest peak Aconcagua, it’s one of the seven second summits. I’ll be following the runners right to the top 🤞🏼. Photos to come plus a feature story for @mensfitnessuk magazine.

Está disponible online y forma parte de la selección oficial de Santiago Mountain Film Festival @mountainfilms_ conjunto con @banffmountainfestival world tour. La película está acompañada por música compuesta por mi gran amigo Jon Gardner.

My adventure film Wala has been selected for Santiago Mountain Film Festival in association with the Banff Mountain Film Festival world tour. You can watch it for the next week online. The subtitles are only in Spanish for this showing but looking forward to bringing it to the English speaking world soon. Link in my bio. 

Wala, produced with Chilean NGO Andeshandbook, tells the story of a British photographer and a Chilean geographer who were sent to the world’s most southerly island in 2020 by the Chilean government to document the non existent trails of Isla Navarino. 

It’s scored with 🎶 composed by my long time friend Jon Gardner.

Big day out in the hills yesterday shooting @lagrantravesia 100K trail race. It’s a nasty off-trail poke-you-in-the-eye kind of race in Chile’s coastal mountains. Loads of great angles and light up there with some late winter snow still hanging on. Of all the snaps, I like this first one most of my pal the talented athlete and coach @est_stambuli. His day didn’t go as planned. He came over when he saw me at 50K in the high country at Inca Lagoon, sat on a rock in the late afternoon sun and we talked some smack whilst the flies wheeled in the soft light and the sun-bathed lizards hurried back to warm their homes. What a beautiful sport.

Not all pictures make it onto Instagram. On a typ Not all pictures make it onto Instagram.

On a typical 12 hour shoot in the mountains I make between 1,000-3,000 photos.

All but 300 of those pictures I delete completely once back at my office and when I’ve viewed them on the big screen.

I’ll then narrow that down further, choosing between 10-120 photos to do a detailed edit on before submitting to the client. 

Only one or two of those photos ever make it onto Instagram. Often I have to wait until the client has published the photos before I share them. Some shoots for commercial clients I might wait months or even years before being able to share my work. Sometimes never at all. 

Here’s a snapshot from my Dropbox of some 24 photos, shot for a variety of clients on different projects over the last seven days. All the photos work for what we were trying to achieve, but you’ll be unlikely to see them all on Instagram any time soon. 

Hardly anything I do gets shared on Instagram; usually just the snaps that might make you stop scrolling and ask how the talent and perhaps the photographer got into that outrageous spot. Those are the photographs, if I’m honest, I probably like to make most. 

Yet what people hope when they find I’m going to photographing them for a day at an event, I’ve learned, is not that billboard eye-popping Instagram-breaking photograph of the activity itself. What they really want is just a decent closeup photo of themselves that they can share with their kids and partner they left behind to do something for themselves that day, and perhaps to show to their friends at the weekend. 

And I’ll happily take that challenge too.

Here’s to the weekend warriors, to the non money shots, to less likes, and trying to put the people in the photographs, and not my own ego, at the heart of the work.

Iceberg Hustlers Did you know there are plans afo Iceberg Hustlers

Did you know there are plans afoot to tow an iceberg twice the size of Wembley Stadium from the Antarctic to the United Arab Emirates?

This month for @geographical_magazine I travelled to Chilean Patagonia to trace this journey of glacier exploitation from its origin as a C19 cottage industry to a C21 last gasp Band-Aid solution to the global climate and hydrological crisis. 

Following leads about Patagonian ‘berg bandits, to Idaho for a Saudi Prince’s midlife crisis, to South Africa and a diversifying salvage business, to France for the lifelong dream of Engineer Georges Mougin and up to the UAE when a businessman plans to tug a skyscraper of ice from the frozen continent, across the equator before parking it in the 24C waters of the Gulf of Oman, decorating it with penguins and Arctic polar bears and beginning fresh water open-cast mining on its surface - it was quite the journey. 

You can read my 3000 word investigation and see my photos now in the June issue of Geographical magazine. Big thanks to @geographical_magazine for continuing to commission these stories and an honour to be contributing to this 87 year old  print publication that continues to go strong. Link to support the magazine, get your subscription and read my story on my profile page. 

Thank also to @marcachile, @sernaturchile & the ice queen @valentina_rp_ for making the initial trip possible and helping shine a light on how this underreported global industry of the future has its origin in the remotest and most inaccessible depths of Chilean Patagonia 🙏🏼 🧊

Pretty excited to have pulled off the triple crown of 🎥, 📷 and 🖊 in one piece for a major international publishing house. Big thanks to my editor at Age of Extinction for believing it could happen and letting me go see what I could come back with. Sense this is probably the future format of most freelancing but I’m interested to be proved wrong.

Many thanks to @rewildingchile ‘s Director of Wildlife Cristián Saucedo and all his team for fielding my barrage of questions and for having me back to Parque Patagonia to tell this story. Always magic down there. Thanks also to @ongaumen and especially Gustavo Saldivia on his nuanced perspective on why this “sexy” deer is spearheading conservation efforts.
