Photography and films for mountaineering expeditions
Documenting an expedition means sharing the team’s pace, conditions and decisions. I create photographs, ground footage and drone images, following both the climbing and everyday life at base camp.
Tell me about your project
Experience in the Karakoram
I worked at the Trango Towers in 2022, K2 in 2024 and Gasherbrum IV in 2025. On expeditions I have flown my drones above 8,000 metres: this refers to the drones’ altitude, not my own position. The images come from fieldwork and adapting to conditions.
Filming and technical support
Alongside photography and filmmaking, I bring my IT experience. I also provide technical support with radio communications, power supplies, solar panels and equipment management. These help the team operate far from infrastructure.
From expedition to story
The material can become a film, a photographic selection, content for partners or a public screening. Before departure, we establish documentation needs and priorities. In the field, the plan adapts to weather, logistics and the climbers’ work.
Selected projects

Let’s plan the shoot
If you are organising an expedition, tell me the destination, dates, team and project goals. We can discuss the photography, filming and technical support you need.
