JOSH RAPER

Photographer | Videographer | Expedition Support

Having grown up on the edge of the chalky hills of the South Downs National Park, I’ve always had a passion for the outdoors and a sense of adventure and exploration. I see my work as way more than just capturing images and video —it’s about telling the deeper story of exploration, resilience, and the natural world. Whether documenting expeditions in extreme locations, showcasing rugged outdoor gear in its element, or highlighting environmental conservation efforts, I’m always striving to capture authentic content that inspires real change. 

This has included working from the cloud forests of Honduras, to the largest ice cap in western Europe. From the rugged Scottish Highlands to the dense rainforests of northern Borneo. Shooting for brands, adventurers and NGOs such as Flash Pack, Coldhouse Collective, Heart of Borneo, Sean Conway, Revolution Race and The Wildlife Trusts just to name a few.

  • Darren Edwards | Disabled Adventurer

    I have worked with Josh on several adventure based projects, including the Kayak 4 Heroes expedition from Land's End to John O' Groats, as well as the 'Rowing for Mental Health' challenge of crossing the English Channel. On both occasions, as well as on many more, Josh has produced nothing but the highest possible content and always exceeds my expectations. Couldn't recommend him any higher.

  • Martin Holland | Modern Explorer

    Josh worked with me on a Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition to Borneo. He is professional, dedicated, hard working, and capable in the field. It goes without saying that he is also an excellent photographer. I couldn't recommend him more highly and would gladly work with him again.

  • Kevin Merrey | Skyrise Productions

    Josh has worked on several of my film & photography projects over the last few years. I have always been extremely impressed with not only Josh’s technical and artistic abilities when it comes to producing video and image content, but also the way he conducts himself. He is a pleasure to work with and I always look forward to having him on future projects.

  • Sam Kelly | Wildstar Films

    Josh is incredibly reliable to work with. Numerous times, I have had to call on Josh last minute for help with jobs and he has never let us down. He is very personable and gets on well in a team, as well as being able to work independently.

  • Liam Baldock | Flash Pack

    Josh is not just a brilliant photographer and videographer, but an all round great guy to work with. Josh joined us on Flash Pack’s New Zealand adventure, capturing both stills and video, both of which have truly elevated the way we market this adventure. Josh was such a gem to work with, and worked through a number of challenging weather conditions and adventurous activities in a calm and collected way and he used them to his advantage to capture such visually striking content. I can’t wait to work with Josh again in the future.

  • Amy Matthews | Electric Bike Shop

    I had the pleasure of working with Josh on a recent campaign, spending two days shooting around Bristol. He was a great asset to our shoot, producing brilliant action photography that will be used across all our channels. He is super easy to work with and has a great eye for detail, I would love to work together again in the future.
