IRIS Nights Presents Jimmy Chin "Adventure Sport Photography" (2/18)




This morning (2/10), tickets will be release for this event at 9:30 am so click here at that time. If you miss it, there's always stand by.

Jimmy Chin's passion for travel, climbing, skiing, exploration and photography has taken him on breakthrough expeditions around the globe. He is one of the most versatile and sought-after expedition photographers working today, as well as a sponsored climber and skier for the North Face Athlete Team. In the past decade, Jimmy has worked with some of the greatest adventurers, climbers and skiers in the world, documenting everything from the first ascents of unclimbed towers in the Karakoram to ski descents of the high peaks in the Himalayas.

Jimmy shoots for a wide range of commercial and editorial clients. He was recently awarded the Rowell Award for his excellence and breadth in adventure photography and recognized by National Geographic as one of their Emerging Explorers.

We urge you to join us for this presentation where you will view stunning images of daring extreme athletes and hear the dynamic stories of Jimmy Chin's quest to capture them in motion.


Man, I checked out Jimmy's website and there's some images that blew me away. I'm not a nature person per say - I don't really hike or anything but looking at these images, I realized the energy and time it took to capture these shots and I'm impressed. One thing to take a photo in a studio, another thing to be handing thousands of feet on the side of a cliff taking photos !
