Red Bull Illume 2016

Micky Wiswedel: "I'm a full time freelance photographer with a number of international clients but for as much as time allows I'm a climbing bum." Biography: I'm a climber and photographer living in Cape Town, South Africa. I first got into photography as I wanted to capture some of the rad adventures my friends and I were having whilst out in the mountains. After a few climbing magazines picked up my images I came to the realization that I could make a living doing what I love. About five years ago I took the full plunge and went full time. At the same time I branched out into documentary, corporate and lifestyle photography. However my passion still lies with being outside in beautiful places with great friends having good times. Currently I work with a number of international clients, am a contributing photographer to Stocksy, a photographer owned co-op through which I won Sport Photographer of the Year in 2015. But for as much as time allows I'm a climbing bum.
