Visual stories from the trail
Five elements. One vision.
EARTH
Trail running, mountain biking, hiking.
Dirt under feet, mud on tires.
The ground demands respect, the athletes answer back.

Air
SPEED, ELEVATION, PERSPECTIVE.
Skiing steep lines, cyclists cutting wind, and aerial views that show athletes as part of something bigger.
Air
SPEED, ELEVATION, PERSPECTIVE.
Slicing through snow, racing against wind. Movement at its most exhilarating.
Water
Kayaking, swimming, paddling.
Navigating currents, cutting through waves, reading the river, the lake or the ocean.
This is where nature opens up and athletes dive in.

Fire
Race day. Competition heat.
Race day energy, sprint finishes, the burn of going all out. The moments that separate wanting from doing.

Peaks, forests, rivers, horizons.
Nature's architecture, the backdrop to every adventure and the reason we keep coming back.

hi, i'm diego
I’m originally from Argentina, and I’ve been calling New Zealand home for the past six years.I didn’t start with the best camera, I started by paying attention. To changing light, to movement, to the small moments that don’t repeat themselves.Photography became my way of staying present. Over time, it turned into my full-time work.I’m drawn to stories that happen outdoors: runners on ridgelines, cyclists carving descents, paddlers reading water, or someone standing still in a big landscape.I work with events, brands, athletes, and individuals, always focused on real moments and honest storytelling.If it matters to you how it felt, not just how it looked, we’ll get along.
hi, i'm diego
I'm originally from Argentina but I've been calling New Zealand home for the last 6 years.The first camera I owned was borrowed.
The first shot I loved was accidental.Now it's my full-time passion: documenting people moving through landscapes that take your breath away.Runners on ridgelines, cyclists carving descents, kayakers reading rivers, and the wild places that frame it all. Drone coverage, race day shoots, adventure sessions, or just you and the view.Whatever your story is, I'd love to capture it.
MY WŌRK
A collection of moments, from race day to untouched wilderness.
