Aaron Rogosin is a rare Portland Oregon native who has built an international network of clients by prioritizing hard work and a great attitude above all else. His obsession with photography began at the age of 13 when his father handed him his old Minolta SRT 101. From that moment on the camera became his means to gain a sense of self and as a way to explore the world and learn about all it has to offer. As a result Aaron has developed a well rounded style of image making that allows him to confidently enter any environment and produce fresh and compelling content in every discipline he has photographed. His style is to immerse himself entirely within the moment in order to create a visual authenticity that is unique in todays media. He continues to build his world wide community by working with a wide variety of subjects, clients, and companies, including Daimler-Benz, PepsiCo, Red Bull, SXSW, and GE among many others. All of this said Aaron considers his greatest accomplishment is being able to set an example for his daughter that with hard work and persistence you can make a living doing what you love no matter how difficult it may be to achieve.

He produces intense, raw images of athletes pushing their sports to the limit and has risked life and limb on a variety of assignments to bring back stunning images of rock climbers, mountaineers, kayakers, big-wave surfers and mountain bikers in remote locations around the world.

Although I was always taking pictures during my school years, my real path towards becoming a professional photographer started when I got injured during a windsurfing competition and I had to stay on the shore for a while. I just couldn’t sit on the beach doing nothing; I wanted to get closer to the action. So I took a camera and got myself on the race officer’s boat as a photographer.
At first I just wanted to see the action but then I ended up only shooting pictures. After that I was invited to shoot various windsurfing competitions and later on all kinds of different sports. A year later, I enrolled in the Estonian Academy of Arts to study photography.
Today my main focus is on motorsports but I love to shoot other sports. Thanks to Nikon and Elinchrom I can try almost anything that comes to mind. I am always trying to find something new in every shoot: new lighting techniques, cool remote camera places or anything else. I believe there are a lot of interesting things yet to be discovered in the world of photography.

Long ago I learned that the technical part of any job is 10 percent. Creativity, problem-solving, optimism, and surrounding yourself with intelligent, hardworking people is the remaining 90 percent. When you know how to be creative and assemble the right team, that’s when all great things come.
My background is in photojournalism and photography, particularly in the adventure sports realm. I started out as a kid in college, traveling around the country on my own dime in a beat-up Honda Civic with a brick of slide film to shoot rock climbing. This was in the mid 1990s, when climbing was still an obscure sport and the world of extreme / adventure sports was just beginning to enter the mainstream. At the time, it was all about just following my passion, but what I didn’t realize was how it would springboard me into bigger and bigger projects.

In my university years I started taking pictures of my passions: skiing, biking, and climbing. Then I had to make a decision. On one side I had my master’s degree in electronic engineering with a specialization in artificial intelligence, and on the other I had my camera, my skis, and my bike. Obviously, I chose the second.
My idea of photography is linked to the idea of shooting in action. I like to be part of what I’m shooting, both mentally and physically. This means being ready for the action, and I train to improve my skills and strength. From the beginning, I had the idea that having a camera didn’t make me a photographer. So I’ve been exploring every aspect of photography. Photography is not just a way of earning money or proving to be a good technician. With my small skiers lost in oceans of snow, I try to show that there is a different way to relate with nature. For me, this is the first step in my personal evolution. Thanks to photography, I’m travelling the world and meeting a lot of people. Every new experience enriches me and makes me want to find a new story to be told using only one word: click.

About Me

I am a Danish Copenhagen based photographer specialized in dramatic on location photos that stand out from the crowd. I am born out of a family of professional artist, but before I saw myself as a professional photographer, I finished high school, served the Danish army and got my bachelor in economics and business administration from CBS. After a short career in the financial sector, I quit my job, as the urge to be more creative got too big. From my early teenage years, I always wandered around with a camera, learning the skills of photography.

As my skills improved, I started building up a rather good portfolio and in 2010 fueled by passion, I started up as a fulltime professional photographer, and I have luckily never looked back. I have kept many of the skills I learned in my earlier career and they are still making a significant mark on my work morals. I always go to an assignment with a “can do mentality”, a military precision for timeframe and organization, and of course a hard believe in the business slogan “there is no substitute for hard work”.

B-Boy since 1983, passionate about Music, Urban Culture and Street Style, I have always tried to combine these passions with photography, striving to bring the imagination and ability of that worlds in my shots. I always look for what I love in the cities that have created urban cultures and which fascinates me: New York, London, Tokyo, taking pictures of people in the streets, in playgrounds, in clubs, at concerts. From 2003 to 2006 I worked as an assistant for some important Italian photographers in the field of Fashion and Portrait (Giovanni Gastel, Giampaolo Barbieri, Claudio Porcarelli) moving between Rome and Milan. From them I acquired the art and is passed on to me the love for the posing portrait, things that I will also take in the street. In 2005 I created Labrena Photography, starting to work independently as a photographer specializing in fashion and portrait of artists, especially in the music industry through collaboration with Superfly Magazine. Over the years I broaden my horizons, ranging in various fields of photography, comparing myself not only with portraits, but with the social reportage, travel, interiors photography, still life and sports, learning something from each one of them and bringing it in all my work, always with that attitude that comes from my roots.

Born in Ankara, lives in Istanbul/Turkey. I started shooting photos around age 17 but even before that I was passionate about skateboarding. From the moment I want how to capture skateboarding, I had a career. I can say that without a doubt the culture of skateboarding and street sports shaped my approach to photography. I’ve been professionally into sports photography since 2006 and shot many different disciplines since. I always try to pre-visualize and get a good idea of what to capture before the actual shooting, but still try to see from a different perspective and experiment with new techniques when it comes to the actual shooting process.

Scott Serfas was born in the suburbs of Vancouver where nothing separated him from the North Pole but a stained wooden fence and crushed decretive rock. At age sixteen, he was abducted from high school by an unsuspecting church organization and forced to ski moguls and perform daffy’s off lemmings leap under the 7th heaven chairlift–the original stimulus for Scott’s interest in air time photography.

Overwhelmed by the vast terrain and deep powder of the two mega resorts, Scott escaped the grip of skiing church group to acquire his first snowboard. Later that year he moved into a friends VW van that they would park nightly underground, below the conference center, where they would steal power from the last stall of the third floor to heat the ’73 Westfalia. He subsisted on leftover food from the Rendezvous restaurant a top Blackcomb Mountain and wore clothing left in the lost and found. During the early 1990′s he acquired his first Canon camera when a drunk French-Canadian freestyle skier, being pursued by the RCMP, stashed it along with twenty rolls of unexposed Fuji Provia and a half bottle of Rye Whiskey in stall number three of the Garfinkel’s washroom. Scott’s destiny was sealed. After exposing all the film shooting up-and-coming professional snowboarders like Devun Walsh, Kevin Sansalone and Rob Dow he mustered enough courage to submit the color slides to Concrete Powder Magazine.

From his first photo published in Concrete Powder his fame grew. He made a fortune and spent it on bottles of Royal Reserve whiskey for the Chesterfield House parties and Jager shots for friends at Tommy Africa’s. In 1998, the worlds largest and most prestigious snowboard magazine, Transworld SNOWboarding, recruited him as a senior photographer. Since that day he has had thousands of photos published for clients worldwide with more than 100 magazine covers to his name.
