BJORN BAUER

Björn Bauer is a swashbuckling outdoorsman and intrepid adventure photographer who can nearly always be found in the backcountry, pursuing rock climbing, telemarking, and everything in between. This Colorado native may or may not have studied architecture, but would rather be outside photographing athletes in their natural habitat or chasing sunsets on a remote beach. Since 2012, Björn has avoided today’s standard urbanized civilization, pursuing instead the rocky slopes and couloirs of the Holy Cross, Sawatch, Gore, Andes, and even a quick stint in the Daxue Mountains of Southwest China. He rarely wears a suit, preferring instead a set of dirty pants paired with soggy leather boots, a prussic cord belt retaining said pants, and little else. Plans to venture into the little known and photograph adventure sports are the order of the day; mornings are filled with escapades into rough country, while the night brings rowdy campfires and charred marshmallows soaked with cheap whiskey. He is currently working on a range of projects in the backcountry, and exploring all avenues related to a life of adventure photography.
