I did this photoshoot for Patagonia in rural Bolivia. Patagonia is the internationally renowned designer of outdoor clothing and gear and a lover of the wild and beautiful places of the world. This was my second time on a fly fishing trip with Jasper Pääkkönen, a film actor, fly fisherman and a fish activist and a brand ambassador for Patagonia.
I have traveled to places near and far, but this was one of the most spectacular trips and photoshoots that I have ever done. We spent a week in Isiboro Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory (Tipnis), a protected area in the Sub-Andean strip of the tropical Andes between Peru and Bolivia. Talk about a place where very few men have gone before. One of the highlights of the trip was the Tsimané, the nomads of the area, who acted as our guides when we took a canoe and camping trip to the untouchable wilderness in the Agua Negra river.
My greatest gratitude and thank you: Jasper, Patagonia, Rickard, Solid Adventures, Marcelo, Tsimane lodge.
