OUR ROAMING REELS
ZION NARROWS
Knee-deep in the Virgin River, slot canyon walls closing to six feet wide overhead. The light never reaches the floor directly — it bounces off sandstone and arrives already ancient, already amber.

FAIRBANKS AURORA
Seven sub-zero nights chasing the aurora out of Fairbanks — clear skies, hot springs, ice fishing, and green light every single night.

LAKES TRAIL
Our first backpacking trip ever — two nights on Sequoia’s Lakes Trail beneath granite peaks, alpine lakes, and the Watchtower.

The Humans Behind the Lens
BRENDEN & DEMERIS
We just really love being outside.
The rest kind of figured itself out.
From desert canyon walls to open water, we go wherever the light is worth chasing. This is our record of it.
We backpack, dive, paddle, and photograph. We've hauled tripods up ridgelines we had no business climbing and dropped into underwater visibility so clear it doesn't feel real. Somewhere between the trailhead and the waterline, we figured out this was the life.
Based in Los Angeles — with two dogs and a cat who deserve their own journal.
