Ford | Bronco | New York

As I was sitting looking out my plane window in seat 15A looking at a bird eye view of New York City, I knew this was going to be a special few days. Every time I fly into New York for a photoshoot something gives me the chills as I look out the window of the plane. Maybe it’s the size of the city. It always surprises me, but I just love that feeling.

A BIG thank you to Outside TV and Ford for having me on this shoot.

Arriving in New York I knew this was going to be a tough shoot. Not in terms of what I do, it’s who was there, that was in my mind a bit. I meet up with athletes all the time and capture them doing what they do, so that’s never really a big deal. But shooting another fellow photographer, that had me a bit nervous. Either way all went great and I had a pleasure meeting a few new people and getting to see lots of my old friends.

Once dates were set and flights were booked it looked like we were going to get rain the whole time. Or more or less most of our time there, the reports sure didn’t look great. However as you all know, rain or shine when it go time, it’s go time. There’s no stopping the Outside TV crew and we love shooting in any type of weather.

Funny thing was as we arrived to our location it was so foggy you really could not see anything, however within an hour or so the fog lightened up and the weather made for some pretty epic scenery. The rock climbing with Jimmy Chin and Maiza Lima was off the hook. It was wet, slippery but that did not stop them. Awesome few days shooting out in New York.

Ford | Bronco | Utah

Every time I end up shooting in Virgin, Utah I seem to have epic shoots. Happened again!

This part of the Ford Bronco shoot we met up with our friend Tyler McCaul and next-gen rider, Jaxson Riddle. It was sick. Not sure what was more rad……watching them ride bikes and doing tricks, or watching them bomb around the Bronco in the sand. It was a week full of fun, laughs and epic moments…..hope you enjoy : )

So for a while and on some past shoots, the Outside TV crew, with Ian McGrew at the head have been playing around with drones and lighting. This is all pushing the limits of what the equipment can do, both cameras and drones and athletes. To say things came together on this shoot would be an understatement. It was all systems go and nothing but epic stuff was going on. Tyler and Jaxson hit some lines in Virgin, Utah, at NIGHT, under DRONE LIGHTS, and the shots……well…….these are the things we dream of. Thanks Ian and Chris! So friction rad!

So one more thing I would love to mention here on the blog, is that Tyler is such a great dude. Really genuine and caring human, always helps me, thanks Tyler!

Working with Jackson and Tyler in their home turf is always awesome. Its their jumps, their hills, and their hometown. There is probably no other place they both know better so its so rad to team up in their comfort zone. Anyways they did what they do….crushed the mountains, jumps and airs. So cool to just sit back and watch these guys do their thing.

Ford | Bronco | Colorado

Always rad to meet someone who you follow on social media……. On the internet Julian Carr seemed cool, like a regular dude who happens to do unregular things. Not sure that’s a word, but its fitting, at least to describe him. That being said, I was amped when Outside TV told me we were meeting up with him on the next leg of our Ford Bronco shoot. Within minutes of meeting up I knew Julian was a great dude and he really meshed well with the crew. I wish very much that we got to see him do one of his famous ski jumps, however this shoot was early season so there was a zero chance of witnessing that. Also I don’t know how I would personally feel watching and shooting him doing one of those jumps. It can be very tough shooting while someone is teetering on the edge of safety, and he pushes that boarder more than most. It was so awesome getting to meet him and watching him find a few lines early season up in Silverton, Colorado.

So hanging with Julian, was Luke Bredar who’s working with Julian this upcoming season gaining epic footage. Anytime I am shooting in Silverton, Colorado I love it. You always get the most epic mountain views, crazy landscapes, and the weather. Boy do they get some weather. It was great shooting up there and I can’t wait to go back.

Thanks for having me Outside TV and Ford

Ford | Bronco | Washington

So Ford wanted the rain, and boy did Outside TV deliver.…..it was a brutal few days of shooting out in Washington. We all flew out right before “bomb cyclone” hit, which I will have to look into someday but some sort of river atmosphere thing hit and it rained the whole time we shot out there. Like, really, really hard. Seemed like the locals were a bit more used to working in the rain, maybe it’s that they cover river rafting, but……it was soaking outside. Perfect for the Ford Bronco.

Once getting over all the rain and weather conditions……..we had some epic moments and shooting conditions.

I love watching the rafting competitions out in Vail, Colorado for GoPro Mountain Games and a few other events I always seem to be shooting……but this rafting was nuts. Rush Sturges and Darby McAdams showed us how its done. Really epic to watch them do their thing in their home stomping ground.

Thanks to Ford and Outside TV for having me out on this shoot.

Outside Magazine | Tommy Rivs

Honestly…..I’ve been thinking of what to write here for a few months……I still am not even sure. I thought something would come to me, or I would know how to approach this blog post or situation, however I guess time does not fix all things. I will give a touch of writing here……but if you want the whole story or are in the mood to be inspired….check out the Outside TV / Outside Magazine piece on Tommy Rivs and Stephanie Catudal.


So to give the short story….Tommy Rivs is like the most bad-ass ultra runner around. He known world wide for his feats of long distance running. He was on a run in 2021 when his life changed forever. It was for the fact that he gave up his water to some lost hikers while he was out on a run. Normally this would have been no biggie for Tommy who knew how much water his body needed to get back home some 15 miles away or something and selflessly gave up his supplies to a lost group while providing them directions back. On his way back home Tommy knew something was wrong with his body…….and Stephanie and Tommy thought he just had Covid-19 and he hung in the basement for a while with breathing problems. Eventually after things got worse Steph took him to the hospital where they found out he had cancer in his lungs. He’s been working even harder than ever before to regain his life and the ways it use to be.

Hanging with Tommy and Stephanie and their beautiful family was an inspiring few days to say the least. Steph had me in tears a few times, and so did Tommy. They are great humans and it was an honor to capture a few moments with them and their family.

Thanks to Outside TV and Outside Magazine for having me out on this one.

And thank you Tommy & Steph for the inspiration and wisdom they shared of their lives.

Castrol | Ford | Roush

So this was a different sort of few days for me. I got a call from a friend that she might need some help out in Charlotte, North Carolina for a cool shoot for Ford, Castrol, and Roush. That was all I needed to hear to say yes, but after finding out a few details, I knew this one was gonna be off the hook. It did not disappoint.

As soon as I arrived in North Carolina and got to the Charlotte Motor Speedway I met the DP for the first time, John Taggart and the Director Ben Orisich it was hard not to feel pressure. Their work is so dope-Well…….shoot was epic………the cars…..well…….the coolest I’ve ever seen.

So shooting the Ford Mustang Mach E 1400 was very……um…..stressful. It looked different with a close up view. And when peeking inside who knows what the heck was in there……most car people would have no idea……so how was I suppose to know? But let me tell ya……it looked rad……and when it was on the track……holy cow.


Morahan_Visuals_Duncan_Films_Castrol_Ford_MachE_000880.jpg

I wanted to do my best of gathering as many images as possible, because that’s what I do. I was shooting away getting my own shots, getting the scene shots, and doing my best to get crew shots. I have been finding that really hard to do, because of the masks. I am not some anti-masker or anything, but not seeing people smiling and having fun, really crushes my BTS shots. I do my best, and I can say I’m proud of the shots, and the work…..I just feel they are all missing something. Maybe next time I hope : ). Smiling faces always the best thing to see on set.

BTW…….everytime this car was on the track……I litterlty thought that there was a jet over head. I kept looking up at the sky……but it was the Ford Mustang Mach E 1400. It was a crazy experience and I would like to thank John and Ben for having me on their set to capture some epic moments. It was really one of the coolest days of shooting in my life.

2021 Land Rover - Defender - New Rules of Adventure; Samantha Soriano, Lindsey Richter, Katie Holden, and Michelle Parker,

The first time I wrote this, it was way better, but here goes my second try since the first one disappeared. What the heck?

So this is part 2 of 3 for Land Rover Defender, and was it an epic shoot. I knew when Outside TV called me, this was going to be a cool one. We were working with mountain bikers out in Virgin, Utah and once I did some research I realized that I was heading out to the Rampage lines and some of the coolest mountain biking terrain out there. I was pumped.

There was one problem with this shoot for me, I kept wishing I had my daughter with me. I kept feeling that way because we were shooting with four female bikers who were ripping lines I wouldn’t even dream of. It was so inspiring and I wish I could have shared that with her.

So the bikers were Samantha Soriano, Lindsey Richter, Katie Holden, and Michelle Parker, and did they know how to put on a show. I kept thinking to myself how is this even possible? And they kept going bigger, steeper, and things kept getting crazier. It was rad and very inspiring to watch these ladies rip up the Utah desert.

There was no shortage of shooting when it came to the Defenders. The scenery was epic, the landscapes were vast, and it was so rad shooting these beautiful cars. I can’t wait to share some more images from this shoot of these vehicles.

Here’s some of my favorites of the riders and the cars. I will upload a bunch more images from this shoot in the next few days.

2021 Land Rover - Defender - New Rules of Adventure; Emily Harrington, Adrian Ballinger, and Mark Synnott

Where to even start……

It’s been a while since the Outside TV crew has met up for a shoot. As anyone is aware who might be reading this but Covid took over the world and shut everything down. It was a long few months……and I really did miss my friends. I have to say…..it was so nice to be working again and I can’t wait to share some more projects we have been doing.



So this was my first time in Maine…….and boy did I get a tour de Maine. It was an epic state and I just loved it. The people were wonderful, the lobsters were fresh, although I did feel like I was on a boat for the next week even after I was back in Colorado.

I got the call that we would be shooting some rock climbing with Emily Harrington, Adrian Ballinger, and Mark Synnott. I was so pumped to head out and shoot tons of pics, and of course I did. It had been a few months so my trigger finger felt great and my hard drives were all cleared up.

So as soon as we arrived…..I knew this was gonna be a wild shoot. I fly into these just assuming that, that way I’m not thrown off…..we were boat hopping and taking ferries from place to place and it was awesome. I know at some point, I stayed on Hurricane Island….other than that I think I was in Maine the whole time.

On a side note…..It was really cool waking up early morning to get to work and see all the fisherman already plugging away. They were throwing lobster pots in all over the place, it was unlike anything Ive even seen before.
