For this shoot, we explored the Parallel World—a visual take on that disoriented, dreamlike state runners hit deep into an ultra. Landscape inversions and graphic planes became portals, symbolizing those moments when reality blurs.

This project felt like a big accomplishment for me. A sort of culmination of years of different, skills, experiences and passions.
From my early days of outdoor photography and climbing, to falling in love with Alpinism, to visiting Chamonix multiple times and becoming well acquainted with the mountains and trails. Shooting climbing, running hiking, Alpinism over the course of 12 days and 2 different trips was the perfect blend of the things I love most with the skills I’ve honed.
Not going to lie, alpine climbing is still my favorite thing to shoot. Like damn, the mount blanc massif is epic.
Last thought, decided to go a bit more abstract edgy with the edits. Always hard to know which direction to go but some of these edits get me stoked.
