Climbing Photography Clinics
These clinics focus on how to set-up and photograph from a fixed line.
They are geared toward people who are already comfortable with using their camera, do not know how to ascend a rope, but want to start taking top down photos of rock climbing.
We'll go over what climbing photography is, equipment, set-up, safety, efficiency, gear management, and nuances of taking photos from a fixed line.
As we will be discussing the different types of equipment, we will provide any equipment you don’t have.
1.5 Day Clinics
From beginner to advanced climbers, this clinic is focused on learning rock climbing photography.
A four hour ground school goes over the foundations of photographing from a fixed line above your climber, both creatively and logistically. This will cover framing, perspective, how to get your line up and down, and the safety factors being up on a line.
The second full day will cover all the different types of equipment, how it works, and how to ascend up a fixed line. Also included in this day is putting it all together by being able to get up and take your own photos of climbing models.
You’ll get a personalized experience with Irene, a professional rock climbing and adventure photographer (@ladylockoff), where she’ll teach, guide, and encourage you through the process of getting up on ropes.
No need to stress about gear — everything you’ll need will be provided.

Affinity Space Clinics
It is so important that I create space for everyone and understand the barrier to entry into this field is very high. There will be a number of affinity space (Self Identified BIPOC, Women and Non-Binary) clinics with reduced varying rates available.
