Jimmy Chin is responsible for capturing some of the most famous outdoor photos and documentaries of our time alongside his wife, Chai.
The pair shot the Oscar winning documentary Free Solo, following climber Alex Honnold conquering the 900 metre vertical rock face of El Capitan in Yosemite… without any ropes.
Jimmy and Chai have a new project that’s been picked up by Disney called Wild Life.
It follows Kris Tompkins and her partner Doug, who helped pioneer the likes of Patagonia, The North Face, and Esprit. They then turned their attention to creating National Parks throughout Chile and Argentina through one of the largest private land donations in history.
Jimmy Chin joined Jack Tame to chat about this latest project.
