The assignment

Photograph two of climbing’s most recognizable figures for their MasterClass. The portrait session had to fit within a larger film production, with a short window to make the photographs.

The work

Commissioned portraits and climbing photography. The images move between the quiet concentration of a portrait and the scale, movement and partnership of climbing.
