Jason Weiss

“I shoot where few dare to go: atop the highest peaks on earth at first light. I climb for hours in the night in order to shoot sunrise from a summit, capturing rare compositions from up high.”

Jason Weiss is an international award winning mountain landscape and adventure photographer based in Telluride, Colorado. His focus is high altitude mountain photography. Opposed to photographing mountains from down low, he climbs and photographs from the summits of the highest peaks on Earth. He carries all his climbing and camera gear as no drones are used. Despite being in the early stages of his artist career, Jason’s rare approach to adventure photography has caught eyes, earning him several ‘best of show’ awards in the past few years. At the age of 30, Jason’s journey has just begun.

Climbing for hours in the night during month-long expeditions above 20,000 feet, Jason seeks rare compositions in the most extreme environments on Earth. Those fleeting, sublime moments from up high are captured in Jason's images. In May 2025, Jason achieved his dream of photographing sunrise from the top of the world, atop the summit of Mount Everest.
