Description

Adventure photographer Aidan Williams shares how a burnout reset led him from the Blue Mountains to global highlines—shooting world-record walks, 4,000-metre altitudes, and thundering Nazare swells. We dig into safety-first rigging, packing light, weatherproof gear, creative angles after big hikes, and the business realities (insurance, logistics, client asks). Aidan breaks down his Nat Geo cover and why adding video can win jobs. Expect hard-won tactics, mindset shifts, and breathtaking stories.
