Mathew Wanbon

Freelance photographer and writer

I am a freelance photographer and writer focused on telling stories to share with the action sports and outdoor adventure community. I love spending as much time as I can in the outdoors. If I can be outside, I will be a happy guy. Some of my favourite modes of adventure include, mountain biking, bike packing, snowboarding, split boarding, hiking/backpacking, and canoeing.

With a formal education in photography and creative writing at the University of British Columba and over a decade of experience as a sponsored snowboarder, I approach storytelling with a balance between calculated, well-researched work and raw, on-the-ground authenticity.

I love how writing and photography can tell stories that evoke emotion and inspire others to get outside. With my work, I aim to create narratives that contribute meaningfully to the outdoor culture that I live and breathe.
