Alexandra Nemeth – The Seven Summits and Beyond: Photography, Guiding, and Life in the World's Most Extreme Places | Episode #291

from Great Big Photography World

In this episode, Perrin sits down with Alexandra Nemeth, a photographer, published author, and mountain and polar guide who has climbed all Seven Summits, led expeditions to Antarctica, and built an entire career around the idea that a camera can take you places you never imagined.Alex talks about how photography, not mountaineering, was actually what pulled her into the mountains in the first place, why she once sold her entire camera gear down to the last memory card to fund her Everest expedition, and the emotional sunrise on Gokyo Ri that she says planted the seed for everything that came after. She gets into what it took to fund and complete all seven summits over four years while working full time in marketing, the frostbite and hardship that came with places like Antarctica, and why she eventually left her corporate job to spend her life guiding other people through the same wild places that once changed hers.Check out the episode article here: https://greatbigphotographyworld.com/alexandra-nemethWant to support the show?
