We started with our feet in the snow and in the water, following and filming our high-level athlete friends on their travels. That’s how it all began. We were fortunate and got to travel all over alongside them. We experienced some difficult conditions, discovered new cultures, explored new environments, and made fortuitous relationships. That is what shaped us. Traveling the world, oftentimes in extreme conditions. So, yes, we film extreme sports and we produce films about snowboarding and surfing, but at our core, it was just that – going to explore the world with friends and coming back with stories that filled our hearts and our memory cards. That is what stimulates us, and it continues to do so today with new stories that have nothing to do with sports or the outdoors.

Ollie Taylor started on the landscape photography path in 2003, establishing his hobby as a part time business by 2007 alongside working in architecture.  During a photographic commission in Iceland late 2010, he became hooked on nightscape photography.  Ollie saw astrophotography as a route into full time freelancing due to there being no astro dedicated, consistent workshops advertised in Europe.   After some trial runs in 2013, he advertised a full portfolio of landscape astrophotography workshops for 2014 and quit his 9-5 that spring. 

Venturing into landscape astrophotography in the early years also led to a string of clients and commissions, including long contracts with multiple brands and electronic manufacturers. Work and articles featured in countless magazines and books alongside websites.  Ollie has also produced hundreds of dedicated articles on night photography for photography and astronomy magazines over the last decade, picking up several photographic awards along the way. 

For the last 11 years Ollie has predominantly lived out of a suitcase.

"It all started with my sister, a cheap bicycle, a cheaper handycam, and a 4,100km ride across China. The passion for travel & storytelling exploded and I never looked back."
