Vertical Ascent Photography
"Rock climbing and hard-core backpacking images, specializing in apparel and footwear for extreme adventures"
Stunning images sell products. Stunning rock climbing and backpacking images sell products faster. Vertical Ascent Photography is all about the action, the terror, the determination, and the victory. Its about untamable mountains, vast cliffs, craggy heights, and the wild and free who dare to tread there. And its about capturing those fleeting moments in a way that will engage your customers, captivate their imaginations, and inspire them to take the challenge.
Whether you are in the outdoor sports industry or your marketing campaign needs conceptual images, your needs are important here, and everything possible will be done to understand those needs and provide the perfect image. You may find just what you are looking for in the stock photo files where special attention is paid to obtaining uncluttered photographs with room for text. Or you may prefer assigning content-specific images based on your ideas. In either case, I am here to help you be successful.
Vertical Ascent Photography is based in the heart of the southeastern outdoors, within three hours of 31 climbing areas, 17 wilderness areas, 1.8 million acres of National Forest, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. From the 1100-foot faces on Laurel Knob to the beyond-horizontal roofs in the Obed Wild and Scenic River, and from the Appalachian Trail's southern terminus to the soaring off-trail routes up Cold Mountain, the southern Appalachians are an outdoor paradise. If you need a climbing or backpacking photo, chances are, it can be made here.
So enter the realm of the strong, the passionate, and the couragous. Let me invite you to browse the portfolio and online galleries and meet the explorers who press the limits, whether at the finest climbing areas in the southeast or on trails up rough and seldom visited backcountry peaks. It is my hope that you will find new ideas, fresh perspectives, and most of all, solutions. And if you feel that I can assist you, please call me and let's discuss how we can work together to make your project stand out above the rest.
