Emily West
Emily is based in Salt Lake City, but is most often found high up in the Wasatch Mountains or at the bottom of a slot canyon deep in the Utah desert. She’s drawn to the unknown and captivated by new experiences, always looking for an adventure off the beaten path. 'Type 2 Fun' is a big part of what drives Emily to get outside, She says: “There's nothing more satisfying than sitting down at the end of the day, muscles aching, bruises and scrapes everywhere, knowing that you did something BIG. The outdoors have not only brought peace but so much confidence to my life. There's truly nothing like pushing your limits and seeing what you're physically and mentally capable of.”

He works hard and plays even harder, leading an active and creative lifestyle, playing volleyball, traveling, and documenting all of the precious moments along the way. The photo industry moves fast, so he is always challenging himself to try new things and experiment with new photo techniques. Faith, family, photography, and health are some of the things Ryan values most.
