Biography

Greg Von Doersten has more than 40 years of experience behind the lens since graduating college from the University of Montana. In the span of his career, he’s withstood major upheavals and transitions of all kinds: new generations of athletes, constant evolutions of ski, climbing and camera technology, the proliferation of access to photography and the widespread talent that followed. The key to staying at the top of the field is, again, being the person who finds solutions, that creates captivating camera angles and delivers stories that haven’t been told before.

 

Von Doersten has sailed the Drake Passage on a ski expedition in Antarctica. He’s documented the largest rapids in the world on the Congo River and explored remote corners of the world in Spitsbergen via sea kayak and Greenland via ski mountaineering for commercial and personal projects. The Jackson-based photographer regularly sets off on adventures in the Tetons, the Alps, even the Himalayas. His far-reaching work has been published in National Geographic, Powder Magazine, the New York Times, Outside, Forbes, and Men’s Journal. And his photos are sought after by recognizable brands including Atomic Skis, American Express, Delta Airlines, Microsoft and North Face. Last year, Greg published a narrative story of his winter sports work taken throughout his career in Wyoming, titled “Angle of Repose.”

“We all need to get out of the sea of sameness,” Greg says. “Let’s continue to push the envelope. Just because we have 50 to 60 years of outdoor adventure and action sports photography in the collective archives, we all as creatives need to keep pushing ourselves, into the newest technology to be on the very top of the industry, knowing what untold stories are out there and to elevate the creative camera work for unique perspectives.”
