JASON CHAPMAN

I am a photographer and filmmaker based in Salt Lake City, Utah specializing in outdoor and adventure travel. As a mountain guide for over 12 years I have developed unique skills that allow me to operate in extreme and remote locations with minimal gear to produce high-quality content that tell exciting and one-of-a-kind stories.

I provide photography, videography, photo and video editing, motion graphics and animated maps for commercial and small business marketing, events, social media and private commissions. Email me if you are interested in collaborating on a project. 

Mission

Using the power of science, nature and the outdoors to help you achieve your business and life goals through visual media, storytelling and education

Vision

Tell relatable stories that encourage and inspire the betterment of our personal lives and communities by showing that people are fundamentally similar all around the world through a shared connection to science, nature and the outdoors.

Challenge

I want all people to imagine themselves in my videos and know that they can use the information that I provide to pursue their goals. Travel, adventure, the outdoors and science are for everyone. What story do YOU want to tell? You only have one life so whatever it is, do it!

My favorite food is broccoli. I know, don’t judge me.

I have always loved maps and I even design illustrated and animated maps.

Documentaries are my favorite type of film. I watch a lot of them. A lot of them.

When I was a little kid I wanted to work for National Geographic and NASA. I still want to.
