BIOGRAPHY
Alexander K. Barden
While traveling over 60 countries I gained many impressions of different landscapes and diverse cultures. As a mountaineer and drone pilot I get many chances to get extraordinary shots with my friends.
​
My goal is to bring some of the adventure, beauty and adrenaline of the outdoors to the people at home.
​
By working as an engineer in a drone company for several years, i was able to acquire a lot of technical skills in this field.
My passion is to capture the art that nature provides us with the newest technology of flying - as birds have been doing it since the dawn of time.
"A man's reach should exceed his grasp,
or what's a heaven for?"

Already in my early childhood I developped a pronounced fascination with the alps. Foto albums at my parents are filled with mountain pictures I shot as a little boy when hiking with my father.
​
After having forgotten about this passion in my teens, I rediscovered it in my early twenties. Built on the scarce knowledge still stuck in the back of my head from childhood, I have self-learned the techniques needed for climbing, alpinism and skitouring.
As a scientist, I am equipped with a deep drive towards the unknown, combined with an eye for details. I love capturing the feeling of exposition and vastness at non famous places on camera. My goal is to inspire viewers to go on adventures and experience themselves the awe I feel before our creator when being in the wilderness.
