Biography

Climbing is my true north. It’s taught me to try hard, stay calm under pressure, and love learning.

My career has followed a similar path—I started as a pro athlete, which led to photography, and naturally grew into marketing and creative strategy.

I’ve worn a lot of hats, but I’m not a generalist per se. My focus is on outdoor adventure and its culture. I know how to align creative strategies with the right objectives to set projects up for success.

Being part of these cultures—even helping shape them over the years—gives me the context to make sure the story is always clear. The type of clarity that only comes from experience.

Boone gets it. His progressive thinking has enabled him to break new ground as a professional climber, and that same approach is why he continues to provide brand-defining photography that sets the pace for our communications. He consistently captures perfect moments for us, authentic to the endeavor and always to the point. Even amidst uncontrollable environmental and human variables, Boone delivers.

Capturing imagery has never been easier. So as professional photographers, if we’re not creating something extraordinary, or at least trying, then what are we doing? Let’s take more risks and embrace the rewards. Spend time, enjoy the process, and create something more than what your phone can do.

Brands, collaborate with your artists to produce meaningful, timeless work.

It will be worth it.
