Aaron Schmidt

Aaron Black-Schmidt has always been drawn to experiencing the outdoors, from backpacking with his parents as a child to working the firelines as a wildland firefighter. It was the desire to capture the beauty of these special places and the people that travel them that led him to photography. Aaron graduated with honors from Brooks Institute with a degree in Visual Journalism and is an Eddie Adams alumni from Barnstorm XXV. Currently working as the Photo Editor for Canoe&Kayak, Kayak Fish and SUP Magazine, Aaron focuses his personal work towards documenting adventure sports, outdoor lifestyle and natural history.
