A professional climber for twenty years, Jon has traveled the world climbing rocks up to 5.14 and V14. His authentic view of climbing and the Outdoor Industry grew from simple beginnings as a committed climber. In the past decade, his focus has shifted from the rock to the camera as a director who captures the heart and soul of cutting-edge climbing. Through dedication and consistency, he has grown his company, Louder Than Eleven, into one of the Outdoor Industry’s most trusted production houses.

Jon works with pro athletes on their level and has directed a variety of award-winning features and international campaigns for The North Face, Mountain Hardwear, 37.5 Technology, Marmot, Black Diamond, La Sportiva, Petzl, USA Climbing, Outdoor Research, and Spyder. Jon shoots from precarious places where most filmmakers don’t have the skills to go. He captures commercial-quality images in both the vertical and horizontal worlds.

Jon enjoys hanging from the side of El Capitan capturing free ascents 3000 ft off the valley floor, climbing in the Rocky Mountains and traveling to the corners of the earth to capture rare moments in sport. He likes to follow personalities and develop deep, authentic stories about talented people doing the coolest stuff out there.

Home Base: Denmark

I am trained in photography from Media College Denmark in Viborg and have since specialized in action and adventure sports. My base is in Denmark, but I have the entire world as my playground.

I cannot imagine doing anything else. Photography has taken me to so many exciting places around the World, and it has given me so many fantastic experiences and friendships.

I have been traveling the World for the past 10 years to shoot sports for commercial and editorial customers, as well as events. I have been fortunate enough to work with loads of exciting people on a broad variety of assignments. But I also find the time to execute personal projects, as I have a great need to express and display my creative thoughts.

I am very fascinated by athletes’ strive to accomplish perfection, as I can recognize my self in it. I can easily relate to it when I photograph anything from Olympic medallists, world champions, and European champions to sports talents and living legends.

With great dedication and passion, I try with my visual approach, to produce pictures that cater to my client's needs with a focus on details, and I tell stories through inspiring photographs. This is why my clients trust me with their most important assignments. I love to travel, explore new surroundings, and unite them with spectacular action sports. To be perfectly honest, I am most relaxed when I am on the plane to the next assignment. Furthermore, I love to immerse in projects and sports so that I know, that I am properly prepared for the assignments I take on. I am always up for a chat about projects, sports, camera equipment, and mostly anything else.

When I am not taking pictures I can be caught running or on my racing bike (if you can keep up)

In 23 years, Jacquie Matechuk has earned a reputation for capturing "the moment" with images that speak to the journey and successes of her subjects. It’s her profound love for storytelling that gives her subjects a voice to be heard. Always striving to produce visuals that are both thought-provoking and emotionally relatable.

"Our inherent connection to the natural world reveals our complete dependence on the health and biodiversity of this complex planet. And I believe as creatives, it falls on us to generate content that is relatable and engaging for those who may never experience firsthand, the places and things we do."

Whether she’s focused on epic scenery, iconic architecture, wildlife conservation, or professional sports, Jacquie’s goal remains the same: put the viewer in the moment and set their mind free. Today, Jacquie shares her passion for photography as a Canon Canada Ambassador, anxious to teach other creators how to nurture and grow their passion. Whether she’s mentoring a small group of photographers in the pristine wilderness of the Canadian coastline or working with the CCPC (Canadian Conservation Photographers Collective) to partner with organizations leading the fight to protect what we have.

So from the canyons of the Andes Mountains, as a certified bear guide, to the sidelines of the CFL, you’ll find Jacquie always grateful for the time and opportunities to do what she loves. To accept the challenge of capturing a moment in time that might otherwise go unnoticed. She will continue to strive to uniquely and creatively capture the people, places, and biodiversity of this beautiful planet.

Jacquie’s international recognition includes a gold medal at the 2024 World Photographic Cup, and again at the 2024 International Visionary Awards, 2024 Canadian Commercial Photographer of the Year title, a Masters of Photographic Arts and several other international award-winning captures… "I invite you to enjoy the world as I see it."

Jeff is a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (and dropout...long story), philosophy undergraduate (which he admits has been surprisingly useful), international multimedia journalism MA (China Cohort), and professional wanderer (over 12 years of living in countries in Africa, Asia, and S. America) that is grateful to somehow have carved out a living creating photos and make videos all over the world (…and by somehow he means a life of never-ending learning, cursing, laughing, crying, failing, and finally becoming good enough to be paid).

Although his background is in multimedia journalism and documentary photography (which wasn’t exactly paying the bills), his specialty over the last few years has been mostly documentary brand storytelling for Trek Bikes. However, never one to be idle, he recently decided to switch it up and is currently the Director of Multimedia for Americares, a large NGO in the international disaster relief and health sector. He also helps teach photography workshops for National Geographic's Student Expeditions in the summer when his schedule allows.

At 14 he took a few photos on a mobile phone. A few months later he walked into an electronics store and held a DSLR for the first time, only to be taken aback by all the numbers, icons and information on the screen. It was almost a year later that he got his first DSLR, a 1000D.

Now at 23, he is the first Indian photographer to shoot the grueling Dakar Rally in 2019 and also various rounds of the FIM Cross Country Rally Championship. He has worked with every automobile publication in the country, creating various editorial features, and has finally made a foray into the world of advertising.

Action Sports is not all about shooting these immensely hardworking athletes. For Ishaan, it is a cue to cultivate a fitter lifestyle, to ultimately be more efficient, and also to portray the inner feeling of every athlete in literally the truest form possible. Only if you ride a dirt bike on a motocross track, do you realize what every 20-minute moto demands physically and mentally. You have to feel it to understand what level of preparation these athletes bring to the sport. The better the level of understanding, the better the images. Well, at least most of the time.

Being a part of the Red Bull Content Pool team in India, his fundamentals are very clear on shortcuts and hard work. Dirt and adventure are the genres that drive him to do everything that is needed to translate the thoughts in his mind into reality!!

It was the daily rattle of the cable car to the Helm, one of the ski resorts in the middle of the Dolomites that woke up the photographer already in his early childhood. Born in 1986 at the foot of these mountains, Harald tried very early all kinds of winter sports, from sledding to snowboarding and freestyle skiing. Today he often leaves his bed much earlier than the cable car can wake him up to catch a spectacular sunrise or trick in the fresh morning powder. In summer, he traces mountain bikes, kayaks, and slacklines in breathtaking moments out in nature. But back from outdoor activities, Harald enjoys very much also to photographing architecture. The most fascinating part for him behind every image is the persons, and how they perceive and express their passion – be it sport or architecture. “Everybody has a very personal life philosophy I try to capture with my camera”, says the young photographer. His spare time Harald dedicates to his hidden passion, abstract photography, and all shades and forms of light.
