You’ve found the online home of Erin Outdoors. I’m a photographer passionate about learning & sharing stories from all over this world, particularly those that have a deep connection to this planet and its people.
The Photo Series that Went *Viral*
When the pandemic hit mid-March, I challenged myself to create adventures from entirely within my apartment. It quickly went from personal project to international news. Who knew?
Welcome! I’m Erin, a photographer passionate about the outdoors, meaningful travel, and living deliberately. My work lives somewhere in the middle of three worlds: travel & the outdoors, photography & tech, and personal development. My goal is to show the beauty and complexity of the planet we live on, and to encourage genuine connection to the outdoors, culture, people, and wildlife.
This planet is absolutely magnificent. And we LIVE here! Check out some of the images I have made of this complex world.
AS SEEN IN
I work with brands and tourism boards to bring your story to life through imagery, video, blogging, and more. My goal? Taking a detail-oriented approach in order to communicate a feeling.
Didja know I led adventure trips professionally for 7 years? 🤗 These days, I facilitate a few trips every year, and can be found speaking or leading workshops at events around the US.
I'm Erin, Your New Tour Guide
If you’re interested in travel, love spending time outdoors, or want to learn more about photography, you’re in the right place. I’m an adventure trip leader turned travel photographer, passionate about learning & sharing the real stories from the places I visit.
Ahhhh, the blog. I started this site back in 2014 to share my experiences as an adventure trip leader around the world. It’s since grown into the space where I share more than just my travels–– photography, the outdoors, and freelance life are some of the topics you’ll find.
Does photographing a moment steal the experience from you? Is it good to document so much of our lives? These questions (and more) were on my mind .. so much so, that they are the subjects of my TED Talk.
My tools for creating: cameras, lenses, travel gear, and more.
