In 2011, I had the pleasure of shooting the team from Wild and Free. They were in Bettles Field Alaska leading an expedition for a Norwegian dog mushing school who brings over students each year to train in the wilderness. The trip involved 18 students, eighty dogs, pulling fourteen sleds through some of the most remote and beautiful areas of Alaska.

The team was led by American dog mushers Brent Sass, Josh Horst and Thom Walker. Brent Sass and the team has since gone on to win the 1,000 mile Yukon Quest international sled dog race from Whitehorse, Yukon to Fairbanks, Alaska in 2015, 2019 and 2020.
