Road Trip! In January we hit the road on a shoot for the Utah Office of Tourism. The mission was to showcase a handful of good reasons to visit the State’s national parks in the dead of winter. This might sound kind of just plain cold at first. But then you drive up into those […]

Happy New Year! 2016 stands out with some unique differences from past years at HagePhoto. Many of our projects now include a video component as a matter of course. Some of our work was commissioned strictly for social media campaigns instead of traditional advertising. And with the birth of our son (!!!) we decided to operate […]

A recent conversation reminded us of a serendipitous trek ‘down under’. With a week to kill after completion of an assignment in New Zealand, we chose a quick hut trip in spectacular Mount Aspiring National Park close to Wanaka/Queenstown. The trek into the Liverpool Hut (listed as 6 hrs) starts off crossing some sheep paddocks […]

Earlier this year we partnered with Yeti Cycles for a trip-based photo shoot on the latest addition to New Zealand’s Cycle Trail collection. The Old Ghost Road carves an 85-km route across the rugged mountains of the South Island’s West Coast. Thanks to a hardy group of volunteer trail builders, what was once a rough […]

We recently found ourselves in California with a week to kill. With our last meeting in LA and our next photo shoot in Northern CA, we decided to take the slow road along the coast. Not that you can really go fast once you commit to Hwy 1. We pulled into Plaskett Creek Campground, found a […]

Situated between the Pir Panjal mountains and the Great Himalayan mountains, Kashmir has been under rule of a large number of political entities due to its geographic significance.

We’re truly fortunate to live this life. Sure, it’s a lot of work to run your own production business. But when we look back at what we’ve accomplished last year and where we’ve been, it’s hard to hold a grudge against all those 16 hour days and endless stream of airports. It was tough to […]

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 […]

About this time last spring, we were all sitting in a friend’s living room in Grand Junction, Colorado, staring incredulously at the evening weather round up. The national weather service had been tracking a storm front moving across the country from the Pacific. It would arrive on Western Slope in two days and a series […]

Who doesn’t like a nice, warm puffy jacket? This time of year, we often get requests to recommend a good down jacket. And for years there is only one brand we turn to for the lightest, warmest down goodies on the market – MontBell. Since we shoot a majority of the Japanese brand’s catalog and advertising […]
