“Every expedition is part of the adventure for Jochen Schmoll. The daredevil and adrenaline addict has made a name for himself as one of the most trusted shooters and directors of all things extreme. If there are places no other director would go, chances are he has been there.

Jochen climbed, skied, and rappelled his way into the world of extreme sports with his documentaries Into the Light, Into Twin Galaxies, and Spitting Distance and commercials for Gore Tex, Toyota, Jack Wolfskin, and Red Bull. Having slept in bivouacs at temperatures as low as -45 degrees and descended into an active volcano, Jochen knows no job is too tough.

Based in Barcelona, with an office in Germany, Jochen is fluent in English, German, Spanish, and French. Even more handy is his penchant for teasing out what makes people tick. From Master Polar Guides to freerunners, BMX riders, and alpinists, some of the world’s best athletes have appeared in front of his lens. Jochen is that rare breed who is at home on any terrain, anywhere, and with anyone.
