Andrew Opila tells stories where mountain sports, wild landscapes, environmental awareness, and extraordinary human experiences collide—often in some of the most remote, challenging places on Earth. It's safe to say, he’s comfortable with the uncomfortable.

He began in traditional commercial and advertising work, but the trail soon called louder than the desk. He became an international travel guide -- opening the door to photograph some of the planet’s most stunning places. An Eagle Scout, alpinist, skier, climber, and lifelong outdoorsman, Andrew has built a career that’s really just an excuse to be outside—exploring and sharing the greatest creation of all: our planet.

As an award-winning photographer & filmmaker his work has brought him across six continents—inside glaciers, across Antarctic fast ice with Emperor Penguins, face to face with lions and up the slopes of remote peaks.

Now based near Park City, UT, Andrew works as an expedition, travel and documentary storyteller. He thrives on helping adventurous people tell authentic, meaningful stories—especially those that inspire us to keep our wild spaces, wild. Above all, he hopes to use his time, treasure and talents to leave the planet, and the people in it, better than he found them.

For years, Gustavo has wandered the globe with his camera, capturing the soul of our planet—from the depths of coral reefs to the peaks of untamed mountains, and the vibrant pulse of remote cultures. His work is a testament to Earth’s staggering diversity: wild, fragile, and endlessly inspiring.

As a photographer, he thrives where elements collide. Beneath the surface, he documents the silent ballet of marine life—shadows of sharks, bursts of tropical fish, and every aspect of life, whether large or small. On land, he chases the golden light over African savannas, the mist-cloaked jungles of Latin America, and the raw energy of urban landscapes where humanity and nature intertwine.

But his lens is more than an observer; it’s a bridge. Through collaborations with conservation groups, travel brands and media outlets, he has turned imagery into impact—advocating for protected oceans, endangered species, and the cultures that guard our world’s last wild places. Whether shooting for his self, magazines, exhibitions, private clients or leading expeditions, his mission remains: to make the unseen felt, and the forgotten remembered.

From Gustavo's early days with analog cameras to his deep dive into the digital realm, photography has been his language for deciphering nature's soul.

His evolution into wildlife and underwater worlds transformed not just his vision, but his demands—he needed an adventure companion as resilient as the ecosystems he documented. The perfect backpack became his holy grail—one that combined ergonomics for long expeditions, capacity for his creative arsenal, and toughness to withstand torrential rains, ocean salt, and desert sands.

In 2010, after testing countless options, Gustavo discovered f-stop. His first Loka wasn't just gear—it was a revelation. Every zipper, every stitch, every pocket seemed designed by and for photographers who, like him, chase the extraordinary in impossible conditions. When he later upgraded to the Tilopa, it confirmed what he already knew—these packs are extensions of our craft. Whether navigating slippery riverbanks, pushing through dense rainforests, or trekking across remote highlands, he know that within that rugged fabric beats the same commitment: protecting not just equipment, but stories waiting to be born. f-stop doesn't carry his gear—it safeguards his most intimate encounters with the planet.
