Calumn Hockey (born 1992), currently living and creating on Gumbaynggirr Country, is a self-taught adventure photographer, videographer, and drone pilot obsessed with chasing raw, untamed stories from the world’s edges.For nearly a decade, Calumn has roamed through Australia, Southeast Asia, and New Zealand, documenting the wild intersection between adventure sport and environmental conservation — camera in hand, boots worn thin, and always miles from the nearest comfort zone.His journey began deep in the red heart of Australia, on a dusty six-month working stint in Uluru, where a simple camera sparked an obsession. From there, it was off to the storm-lashed West Coast of New Zealand, where the Southern Alps became both classroom and crucible, shaping his path as a visual storyteller and restless explorer.Since then, he’s followed the call of the unknown — from the high passes of the Himalayas to the mist-draped temples of Burma, capturing moments that live at the edge of the map, in places where few others go.And if the work is wild, so are the miles underfoot.A few of Calumn’s past expeditions;Rode 1,200 km from Bangkok to Yangon by bicycle, chasing monsoons and border crossingsCycled 500 km solo from Uluru to Alice Springs across the OutbackSummited Mount Fansipan, Vietnam’s highest peak, with nothing but a bottle of waterTrekking 100 km in 27 hours, non-stop, with zero sleep (for charity)Completed the 231 km Larapinta Trail in just 8 days, carrying all gear across ancient ridgelines
With every expedition, every frame, and every story told — this is just the beginning.Calumn has captured some of Australia and New Zealand’s biggest and hardest ultramarathons helping dozens of events promote their race to the wider community.Past Clientele;Arc’teryx / North Face Australia / Patagonia Australia / GoPro / Tarkine Running / Her Trails / UTMB World Series / Tourism Nepal / Destination Sri Lanka / Incredible India / Jeep / Kathmandu Gear / World Trail Majors Awards;2023 AUS Geo Nature Photographer of the Year finalist2023 World Press Photos Contest final round 2022 Wildlife Photographer of the Year 58 Highly Commended - Photojournalism Category2022 Canopy Awards - 1st Place Reportage 2022 World Press Photos Contest - Top 50%2021 World Press Photos Contest - Top 24%2021 Australian Mono Awards - Highly Commended2018-19 National Geographic YourShot P.O.T.D x 32017-19 GoPro Photographer of the Day x 42017-19 GoProANZ Photographer of the Day x 15Podcasts and Chats;We Are Explorers Podcast Altbays Podcast For Wild Places Trail Chatwe pay respect to the traditional custodians of this land past, present and emerging.
