Getting Scrambly in the Southwest for La Sportiva

November 11, 2016 by HagePhoto

Earlier this year we got together with the Italian footwear specialist La Sportiva for a week-long shoot in the desert southwest. Our mission was to produce high calibre hiking and backpacking work that would stand side-by-side with the brands’ already outstanding climbing photography. This can be a real challenge as climbing and skiing imagery inspire on […]

Seek. Opportunity. I initially sought out an internship at HagePhoto because I was so impressed with their expansive and extraordinary body of work. And, because the lure of active lifestyle and outdoor recreation photography captivated me. I spent many hours preparing for this summer experience – lots of emails exchanged with Matt and Agnes, researching the area, daydreaming […]

Introducing Summer Intern Emily Lester

My photography journey began eight years ago when I first picked up a camera and took a black and white film course at Middle Tennessee State University. This class changed everything for me.

Offbeat Side of Zion for Gregory Packs

April 26, 2016 by HagePhoto

Sometimes it pays to listen to the kid working at the outdoor shop. We had stopped in to grab a map of the greater area around Zion National Park in Southern Utah. “You should check out The Barracks,” he offered up casually while swiping my card. “It’s as spectacular as the narrows, but not as […]

Introducing Autumn Intern – Nina Porcelli Fenn

September 19, 2015 by HagePhoto

Halfway there has never been an option for me. In fact, finishing something to completion and exploring every possible angle is the only concept I know. Ask my parents—how many times during my childhood they sat around waiting for me to crawl to the very…verrrrrrrrrry end of a lava river cave or help me construct […]

Summer Intern Dives Into the Wet & Wild

July 5, 2015 by HagePhoto

It’s been a month and as promised, adventuring has become a huge aspect of the internship and it’s absolutely rad. As you all may know, the Hage’s are fairly nomadic. So the beginning of my internship was a slew of e-mails and phone tag explaining how to submit images to stock agencies and their guidelines. […]

Across Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains for Black Diamond

June 11, 2015 by HagePhoto

Last summer we dove into the rugged Sawtooth Mountain Range near Stanley, Idaho to shoot a campaign for Black Diamond Equipment. Our team navigated a hundred-mile traverse of the range that connected several high passes and a few craggy peaks, including Thompson Peak, the highest in the range at 10,751 ft. The mission was to […]
