In 2018, whilst on a climbing trip to the Tetons in Wyoming, our founder Matt met a group of independent photographers who had recently returned from a self-funded tour of Alaska and were speaking to local galleries / restaurants / coffee shops to get their recent work exhibited in the hope of driving print sales.

Through speaking with them, Matt established that they'd need to sell upwards of 50 prints just to break even from their trip and it became apparent how challenging making a living was for many independent photographers, especially without regular commercial work. Needless to say, the coronavirus pandemic created further challenges with restictions to travel and far fewer commercial opportunites.

In December 2020, Wild Spaces was launched with a simple mission: to support talented independent photographers and harness the power of their work to drive appreciation for the remaining wilderness on our planet.

Wild Spaces are committed to supporting outdoor/adventure photographers dedicated to documenting and capturing the world’s wilderness by giving them a specialist platform to share their work, the narrative around it and the opportunity to sell gallery quality archival prints.
