Packrafting Adventure in Canyonlands

October 24, 2015 by HagePhoto

The waterfalls weren’t there an hour ago. Earlier this morning we had awaken from our bivouac under the towering sandstone walls of The Maze, a remote labyrinth of deep canyons in Utah’s Canyonlands National Park. We’d noticed a drop in the temperature and the thick cloud cover building overhead. Breakfast was quick; it was time […]

Testing the Waters of Alaska’s Wrangell Mountains

August 11, 2015 by HagePhoto

Guest post by Brad Hurd Have you ever taken your height into consideration when planning for a backcountry trip? I guess maybe when it comes to sleeping bag and pad length, tent length, backpack measurements… Okay, so you should take into account a lot about your height when planning for an excursion. How about river […]

HageLife Video for Black Diamond

June 30, 2015 by HagePhoto

We got to participate in something new last fall. While producing our photo work for Black Diamond in the rugged Sawtooth Range of Idaho, we were also being filmed for a short video to air on BD’s site. Most of the video was shot by our friend Kris Swanson on a couple different sessions with […]

Behind the Scenes in Baja by Alie Fohner

June 16, 2015 by HagePhoto

It was 6:45 in the morning and I’d already run the same 100 feet of trail 6 times, maybe more. Always in a pair. A few times in front. A few times 3 strides behind. A few times with a jacket. Each time, I ran right through the center of a patch of rather spiny […]

Insights from an Adventure Intern

April 26, 2015 by HagePhoto

Two months ago I started an internship with HagePhoto to learn what it takes to turn a passion for photography into a profession. Initially, I didn’t really believe it was possible to sustain a reasonable living as a photographer–at least not in the adventure niche. Shooting for big name companies like Black Diamond, Mountain Hardwear, […]

When Plans Run Awry by Will Day

March 28, 2015 by HagePhoto

I spent last week preparing for a ski touring trip in Denali National Park with HagePhoto. The plan was to travel through the Alaska Range, carrying photo gear to produce ad work for Montbell. The shoot itinerary focused on capturing camping lifestyle photos, featuring the company’s gear and apparel. My experience with winter camping is fairly […]

Off the Beaten Path in New Zealand’s Southern Alps

March 22, 2015 by HagePhoto

As a former photo editor, I have always been drawn to photographs that hint at a greater story. In Backpacker Magazine’s January 2015 issue, they featured an article on a trek less traveled in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, photographed by HagePhoto. Recently, after reading the article, I received a folder from Matt and Agnes chock-full […]

Gear We Use: Backpacker’s Pantry

March 12, 2015 by HagePhoto

We eat out a lot. Let me clarify that; we out in the backcountry a lot. So we were stoked last year to work out a sponsorship with Backpacker’s Pantry, makers of high quality dehydrated and freeze-dried meals. We spend about a third of the year camping out on the trail backpacking, biking, or climbing. […]

Arctic Bike Adventure for Smartwool

March 11, 2015 by HagePhoto

Even though fat-tire snow bikes have become increasingly popular in Alaska, their cartoonish proportions still garner quizzical looks from the locals. The six of us had created an impressive yard sale while gearing up for a weeklong tour at the Wickersham Dome Trailhead. A handful of Carhartt-clad dog mushers watched in amusement as they hooked […]

Gear We Use: Montbell Hugger Sleeping Bags

February 1, 2015 by HagePhoto

Part two of our feather series.  And perfect timing since we just wrapped up in Osaka, Japan last week visiting with the Montbell crew. It is always fun to see the inner workings of a brand with so much going on from catalog layout, to poster printing, to R&D meetings.  Plus, we got a sneak […]
