[Ad] Seriously impressed with the DJI Neo 2 from @dji @djiglobal 🤘 I’ve been testing it out the on a bike recently, and it’s so easy to use - you don’t even need a controller. Nuts! Can’t wait to try it out on the rock sometime. Thanks DJI, this is going to be a game changer! 🤘 šŸŽ„ @dji 🚲 @merida.bikes šŸŽ’ @peakdesign #djineo2 #drone #cameradrone #minidrone #flyingcamera

Darren McMaster @dringo.daz on Sickle Cell E5 6b, at Carreg y Foel Gron, Eryri. Shot on 6th of April, 2026, on @fujifilmuk x100vi Hard to decide on colour vs black and white, or portrait vs landscape. The shape of this line is pretty awesome though. #fujix100vi #fujifilm #climbingphotography #outdoorphotography #femalephotographer

A few images from a AW25/26 Campaign for @rab.equipment This was one of my favourite shoots to date. Shooting through sunset to sunrise, we covered quite a lot of ground, locked in some incredible locations, got lucky with the weather, and had a blast in the meantime. Quite a lot more to share from that shoot šŸ‘€ Big thanks to the team for making it happen - @gemma_neath and @mountexpeds for expert skiing, modeling and not minding me saying ā€˜great, just one more time’, @hamishmountainguide for keeping me safe and @alicekatielouisebeard and @sarah.shaw1989 for working with me on the pitch and guiding throughout. Always a pleasure team! šŸ™ #moutnainnering #skiing #commercialphotography #outdoorphotography #adventurephotography

I was recently asked to pick 8 of my favourite images for an article, and tell the story behind them. What seemed like a straightforward task, ended up with me frantically looking through many old hard drives and pretty serious decision paralysis. Though it ended up taking bloody ages, it was quite nice to go down the memory lane. This shot didn’t make it to the final selection, but another one from the same day did. I wonder if anyone on here remembers it? It’s one of the few shots from earlier in my career that I am still happy with. The article is coming out soon, so keep your eyes out! Excited to share it with you all. šŸ‘€ šŸ§—Jan Krauss 🪨 Flying Flower 7c+/8a šŸ“† January 2020 šŸ“Abella de la Conca #climbing #climbing_photos_of_instagram #adventurephotography #sportsphotography #sonyalpha

My favourite images from the @freerideworldtour finals in Verbier last Saturday. Absolutely mind blown by what these athletes do. Such a privilege to get to experience it in person. Big thanks to @peakdesign and @freerideworldtour for having me! šŸ™ Last photos by @milozanecchia in case any camera geek friends were interested in what kit I was using šŸ˜‰ #skiing #freeride #freerideskiing #verbier #sonyalpha
