One of Europe’s leading adventure photographers, Hamish Frost lives twin lives.

In the third episode of the Ascension Series, we explore the side of himself he has kept hidden from the outdoor community. The film explores Hamish’s life in the city of Glasgow, juxtaposed with his work as an adventure photographer in the wintry Scottish Highlands.
