Hi 👋 I’m Alex Mack
I connect communities with the outdoors, and brands with communities.
I’m a photographer, hiking guide and high-altitude physiologist based out of Vancouver, British Columbia. My photo career started in 2004, shooting Toronto’s punk rock scene. Fast forward: I moved to British Columbia to complete my PhD at UBC and fell in love with the mountains. I’ve since travelled the world, completed a post-doc and now shifted to full-time creative and guide.
My work tells the story of connection, adventure and stoke for the outdoors.
