[ ] “Where are all the canyoning films?”

That was the question we had a few years ago as we were delving into these hidden worlds ourselves.

Descending these deep, dark aquatic cracks is challenging enough, documenting it is a whole other thing.

Find Mòr is the first of its kind to come from the UK and explores the often unmapped depths of the Scottish landscape, the people who are drawn to them and the myriad motivations of “why?”

[ ] It was to be "the longest splitboard journey in the world"

A self-supported, 6 week expedition in an extremely remote region of eastern Greenland where humans rarely go.

The “longest” accolade - as true as it may be (we never bothered verifying) - eroded in the Arctic winds as the deeper, more interesting story emerged.

Split evolved over the past three years into a character driven adventure film. One that not only explores the arctic but our inner worlds, motivations and outlooks. Thematically rife in contradiction, contrast and nuance, the splitboard has come to represent an analogy.

How do we navigate our minds, passions and purpose in a time of crisis?

[ ] Evolving has made us reflective. 

As we prepare our new name and logo, we’ve been thinking about where we came from: put simply we had an idea, two cameras and a home in the back of a car ( #2)

Since year one we knew we wanted to give back to wild places and put roots in the ground, so we planted trees in the Trossachs national park and on the flanks of Schiehallion. Both have flourished and outgrown their tree guards ( #3)

We appreciate who we have worked with and how often over the years - most of our ‘clients’ and ‘colleagues’ have become friends. 

In the coming days we are excited to share our new name and logo (sneak peak #4), but our roots will always remain the same, just running a little deeper 🌳

[ ] 'The Adventure Photographers'

That name couldn't have described us better 🙌 We did what was said on our metaphorical tin, or in fact, houmous packet ( #2) - the founding document where our logo was born in 2019

We have been purposefully quiet on social media over the last twelve months because we have been delving deep into the world of filmmaking.

This year comes the release of not one but two debut adventure feature films. Both years in the making, both passion projects, and we are excited to finally share them this autumn, 2025.

We are and will always be adventure photographers - but now we are also, filmmakers. And so we are evolving our name and logo to reflect that.

We are working on it as we speak (Steve's gone to buy more houmous), but it will be true to what we value most - authentic, meaningful storytelling in wild places.

We'll keep you updated on the rebrand and we're happy to hear any comments or questions

[ ] 🎬 Falls of Askival 🌊 Part 2 of 2

We rose early and hiked 3kms from the bothy to the canyon.

It was not just a one-and-done afterall.

The magical Isle of Rùm delivered. Water tumbled down the dramatic flanks of Askival - the highest mountain on the island - slipped into narrow crevices and dropped spectacularly several times to the sea.

We were stoked. Each pitch was technical, often cavernous and always interesting. This was helped by the fact we were ‘ghosting’ this one - not using any drills or bolts - leaving no trace.

There were rock chocks, squeezes, infinity pools and jumps before we even got to the final falls. When we did reach the finale, the flow funnelled and dropped 45m to the sea - 3 times higher than expected.

The only safe place to rig this pitch was in the depths of the pool before and we sent the aquatic line into a huge sea cave.

As fresh water met salt water, the cliffs soared up around us, seals watching with curiosity as we managed to breach the bluffs and scramble back on land. Mist swirled over Askival’s crumbling peak and the wind picked up as the light turned golden. Hiking back to the bothy, the storm clouds were billowing, the next lot of weather was on the way.

That night the bothy creaked in the wind and by candlelight we drew the latest topo to add to Scotland's ever growing list of canyons - the Falls of Askival.

[ ] 🎬 The Falls of Askival 🌊 Part 1 of 2

There was only one photo to go on. Taken by a passing sea kayaker 20 years ago, this image made the dark crease on the volcanic Isle of Rùm a place we wanted to explore.

The blurry image showed what looked like a 15, maybe 20m waterfall funnelling through a deep fissure and dropping into the Sound of Rùm.

We'd had a run of sufferfests with little reward so expectations were kept low - likely just another ‘deep bimbler’ - but it had a cool finish into the sea, so we started planning.

The Scottish isles are heavily exposed to the elements. Finding a weather window proved to be tricky. We wanted to use kayaks as we weren't sure we could get back on land once we’d descended the gorge because of the island’s huge sea cliffs.

Over a year of trying, the wind and swell never matched up with our schedules, so this October we decided to shoulder our packs, take the ferry and hike in.

An 8km boggy slog later we arrived at the remote, beautifully situated bothy on the far side of the Cuillin ridge. We had three days worth of food, a bottle of rum and no idea what we would find.

[ ] 🎬 Aurora borealis 🇬🇱 

With temps pushing 30 below it was time to settle down in the tent and warm up. But then this happens...

Igniting across the sky, the northern lights light up Scoresby Sund 🙌 The frozen camera was warmed up just enough to capture this before it, and filmer, retreated to the tent for one of the coldest nights on the whole expedition. 

The Split Film is in production and will be released in 2025 🍿

The Adventure Photographers

The Adventure Photographers (TAP) was established in Spring 2019 by Charlotte Workman & Steve Small shortly after returning from the mountains of Japan.

Both having spent many years working in the adventure industry as photographers & guides we have made great friends in wild places and already work with an increasing number of activity providers in Scotland.

We believe adventures in wild places are important.

Exploring and enjoying these incredible places of nature needs encouraged, preserved and celebrated. Then we can work from a place of deeper understanding when we protect it.
