Every once in a while you come across a photographer who’s work really speaks to you personally. It might be the subject matter, artistic skill, technical perfection or just plane cool photography.

In the upcoming Photographer Spotlight series, we are going to profile the work of a number of photographers along with question and answer sessions.

We hope that their work will inspire you and that you might get a bit of insight into who they are and why they do what they do.

Our first photographer is Peter Hoang.

Peter’s work has been featured by Ontario Climbing, Gripped Magazine and Patagonia and he’s sponsored by Arc’Teryx and WoolX.
