Women’s Adventure Cover
by HagePhoto
We’ve been stoked to hold the cover of Women’s Adventure this winter. This picture was originally shot for MontBell on an average day skiing in Japan last year. Our month on Hokkaido and in the Japanese Alps was some of the best powder skiing we’ve done. Cheers! Matt & Agnes

Skiing Iceland’s Troll Peninsula for Black Diamond
by HagePhoto
Last spring we wrapped up our ski season with a two-week shoot in Iceland to showcase Black Diamond’s new apparel line. At the beginning of April, we took the polar flight to Reykjavik and then onto the northern hub of Akureyri. Our agenda for the next ten days was to hit the road on a […]

Story Behind the Shot: Skiing Alaska’s Brooks Range
by HagePhoto
A few years ago, Anchorage-based ski and alpine guide Joe Stock and I (Matt) flew into the heart of the Brooks Range on a truly hair-brained mission. We were there to climb and ski Mount Chamberlin, at 9,020 ft the highest peak in that range and possibly the Arctic. After a sporty landing on a […]

Skiing the Heart of Hokkaido Japan
by HagePhoto
This time last year, we were well into a month-long tour of Japan. We were there primarily to ski and shoot winter work for a couple outdoor brands. It might seem strange to think of Alaskans traveling across the Pacific to play in the snow, but winter on the northern island of Hokkaido is something […]

Field Tested: Agnes’ Top 10 Patagonia
by HagePhoto
Patagonia’s recent release of Worn Wear on Black Friday reminded me of several big adventures and the performance clothing that helped make them possible. Now, I don’t have any stories that hold a candle to some of those in the film, but I do have a handful of decade-old pieces with a lot of miles. […]

Story Behind the Shot: Running The Vegas Strip
by HagePhoto
Most of our adventures in the desert southwest start with a flight into Las Vegas. And if you’ve spent some time in Sin City, you have probably noticed how every morning dozens of runners hit The Strip. Like clockwork, everyone is out pounding the pavement at sunrise before the heat, traffic and crowds take over […]

Singletrack Paydirt in Canada’s Yukon Territory
by HagePhoto
This fall we got the opportunity (finally!) to check out the much celebrated mountain biking trails around Whitehorse and Carcross in Canada’s Yukon Territory. We were there to shoot some new work for Platypus Hydration, a Seattle-based client that will be launching a new line of hydration packs made specifically for mountain bikers. During our […]
