Brendan James – About Me

I strive to create media that has a strong sense of story and place with imagery that captivates the audience and inspires the spirit of adventure.

My work has been featured in magazines, newspapers and blogs throughout the world with unique perspectives of the world as experienced on two wheels.

I bring the same enthusiasm I take with me on expedition to my clients with a dedication to quality timeliness, and task.

Vista Chupol
One of the most fantastic vistas above lake atitlan are the cliffs located in Chupol at 3,000m. The approach requires a little bushwacking with bicycles but the views are more than worth it. From the cliffs you can see across the canyons of San Andres Semetabaj and to Lake Atitlan.
