On the Fly and On the Rock: Authentic Climbing Moments

Climbing photography to me isn't just about snapping pictures, it's an integral part of the adventure itself. The key motivation for me is to inspire the local climbing community and other people passing by who maybe would wish they could achieve or merely have ago at what they see.

While many professional photographers showcase astonishing feats on elite routes (like high grade sport climbs and boulder problems), these often feel out of reach for the beginner or average climber.

I believe that by photographing moderately graded climbs, not only captures more people in action but also creates images that genuinely inspire others to similar achievements.

I find it incredibly rewarding to see climbers tagging their partners in photos, recognising them as shared memories of their adventures.

This philosophy shapes my entire approach: unlike many who might ask climbers to repeat sequences for the perfect shot, I prefer to capture moments "on the fly," even if it means risking missing the ideal frame.
