Biography
Boone is a climber, photographer, designer, and creative advisor working at the intersection of sport, culture, and product. He came up in the American climbing scene in the 1990s and spent over a decade inside leading outdoor brands before building a 25-year independent career working with athletes, founders, and creative teams.
His photography is direct and graphic by nature. The same approach carries into his brand and product work, with a focus on clarity, restraint, and ideas that come from lived experience.
He continues to explore movement, art, and meaning through climbing, surfing, and photography.

Hero Image
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.
