Learn to shoot stills and film in cold, remote and off-grid places, where the conditions are hard on people and kit.
A pre-recorded course from expedition photographer and filmmaker Toby Roney. Everything he has learnt on jobs from the Vatnajökull ice cap to the Matterhorn, in one place.

Built from real jobs in cold, wild and off-grid places, where you rarely get a second go.
Staying safe and effective in cold, wild places, and still coming back with the shot.
Reading the location, light and weather, and building a shot list before you go.
What to take, packing light, and protecting gear from cold, wet, sand and condensation.
Keeping batteries alive in the cold and charging with no mains.
Managing cards and backing up in the field, so the footage makes it home.
Framing big landscapes, and the people in them.
Settings for snow, low light and conditions that change by the minute.
What to film so the edit works, and catching real moments rather than staged ones.
Toby is an award-winning expedition photographer and filmmaker. He has filmed through minus 27 degree storms on the Vatnajökull ice cap, documented a first ascent in Kyrgyzstan's Tien Shan, and shot for Arc'teryx, Garmin and YETI.
“Toby was a brilliant operator on the ground in often brutal conditions. Cold, wet, exhausted, it didn’t matter: he was always first to get stuck in and somehow still came back with the shot. A top-notch director and photographer, and exactly who you want with you when things get difficult.”
“Toby’s talents know no bounds. I’ve shared many adventures with him, and he never stops seeing the story. While the rest of us are just trying to keep moving, he’s reading the light and capturing moments we didn’t even know were happening.”
Late spring 2027. Everyone on the waitlist hears first and gets early access.
Pre-recorded, so you can work through it at your own pace.
No. The course is about how you work out there, you don't need top-tier kit.
First access when it opens, and a launch price only for people on the list.
