Christian Henkel's Photography/Videography Gear & Expert Recommendations

Action Sports + Product Photographer

Live for the climb, not just the summit, but the deep breathes and steps in between.

As a passionate marketing professional specializing in action sports and outdoor product photography and videography, I collaborate with athletes and brands to capture memorable moments often overlooked but rarely forgotten. With over 6 years of freelance photography experience, I've worked with renowned clients like Billabong, Tamron, AAA Auto Insurance, TREW Gear, Jetboil, Eureka, and Icebreaker. My services include content creation, image licensing, social media collaborations, sponsored giveaways, blog posts and much more. My overarching mission in photography and videography is to inspire people to embrace life's adventures fully. I firmly believe that life is all about the climb. That it's not just about reaching the summit, but the deep breathes and steps in between.
