“As my passion for capturing the light of the world in the glass of my lens continues to grow my business and pushes me to chase more remote locations, I couldn’t be more excited for future sunrises and sunsets that I have yet to capture.” -Frankie (@Fr33Water)

Adventure & Commercial Photography

I've been exploring, hiking and traveling around Colorado and the surrounding state for the past ten years. This knowledge of the local areas gives me exclusive access to hidden gems, and an understanding of how to access the most scenic locations during the best lighting conditions. We specialize in telling your brand's authentic story while showcasing your products with scenic Colorado backdrops.

All images on my website are available for licensing and I provide bundles of images for brands looking to use my work across packaging, in-store murals and more. Image licensing has been provided to brands and tourism boards like Visit Boulder, Visit Utah, Visit Colorado and Artilect Studios.

Story Telling

My Instagram page often contains a short story behind every image that I capture and share. Visual content is more than just a photograph, I try my best to create captivating photography that draws in new viewers and keeps them searching for more. I love sharing the story behind my adventures... there's this misconception that photographers just get to be out enjoying the prettiest sunsets and sunrises. I try to take the viewer into the scene with me and show them how gnarly the wind chill was, how painful the hike was on my legs and how it felt to stand on top of peaks and next to pristine alpine lakes.

Social Reach & Audience

I know what it takes to create viral images and captivate large audiences. I've been granted the opportunity to take over tourism pages and work on sponsored campaigns with tourism boards like Visit Colorado, Visit Boulder and Visit Utah. I love partnering with outdoor brands and philanthropic causes that align with my audience demographic. We can work together on sponsored Instagram posts or you can take the content and use it across all your social and marketing channels. If we team up on a sponsored Instagram campaign your content will be viewed by my engaging audience of over 26,000 followers on Instagram while also reaching 100,000 accounts per month. My audience consists of outdoor enthusiasts, photographers, hikers and people that love getting out into the great outdoors located in Colorado and the surrounding regions: Utah. Wyoming and Oregon.

Commercial Photo & Video

We operate a media brand called Alpenglow Creative that assists outdoor brands with creating fresh marketing assets for all four seasons. Our expertise circles around outdoor and adventure lifestyle content and we thoroughly enjoy helping outdoor brands take their visual branding and imagery to the next level. Our photography and video services are unique. Our work is impossible to replicate in a studio. That's because we specialize in original, eye-catching imagery on the highest peaks and most remote backcountry locations of the American West. We believe in going one step further to get the shot. We literally go above and beyond.

Commercial Work Examples, Gobi Heat

Over a two-day outdoor lifestyle photoshoot we helped heated jacket company Gobi Heat with creating a large variety of images for their Spring 2020 look book and for the launch of their new heated camping chairs.
