Usually when I am guiding in the mountains, I take a few photos to give to my clients to remind them of the places we have been and the amazing things we have seen. The climbing is the main thing, and the photos are secondary. This work with Jordan was different: the climbing was very much secondary and the photos were what it was all about. It was a great experience for me, trying to help someone understand and capture places where I have spent my working life and people with whom I have shared my passion for the mountains.

I recently finished a block of work for Arc'teryx, with Canadian photographer Jordan Manley. My remit was to take Jordan to as many of the major UK climbing areas as we could get to in ten days.
