Jacob Adkin is a professional mountain runner, digital marketing manager and content designer. From a sleepy town in the Scottish Lowlands, mountains – whether big or small – have been a defining part of his life since before he can remember. Being behind the camera allows him to explore the beauty and power of the natural world, and the human stories behind the journeys of those who tread in high places.

Alongside athletic achievements, he's carved out a niche for himself as a content creator and marketing manager for a running shop and events organiser in the Lake District, the heart of the UK fell running scene. As a photographer and videographer, he hopes to showcase the extraordinary in the small things, and underline the importance of safeguarding the natural world for generations to come.
