Mitch is a California native who has had a love for being behind the camera since grade school. Focusing on action sports photography, he is inspired by finding and creating unique perspectives in the outdoors. His passion for mountain biking and the outdoors has led him to producing the California Enduro Series and filming for the Downieville Classic and its world famous River Jump -of which he is a multiple champion. He’s motivated by the candid shot, the quick trigger finger, and the once in a lifetime shot. He’s often found peaking through a bush or clambering up a tree, camera rolling and ready for action.  Mitch lives in Portland Oregon.  View some of his work here.
