The Esperanto Photo Collection is a coffee table book featuring 200 of the best photographs from Teton Gravity Research’s 2022 freeride mountain bike film Esperanto.

I laid out the design for and published the photo book, selecting photographs that highlighted the diverse locations and international flavor of the film, which was shot across five continents and featured dozens of athletes.

Mixing the rock stars of mountain biking with a cast of unknown and up-and-coming heroes, TGR’s film Esperanto explores how we share our dreams through a universal two-wheeled language no matter what our native tongue may be. The sacred ritual of the ride might sound different all across the world – whether it’s a full-face getting pulled down to drop into a big jump line or wheeling a beat-up bike out of a mud hut to pedal to school – but it’s a universal process no matter what language we speak.

Esperanto was filmed on location in Japan, Ecuador, Utah, Zambia, Kamloops, Jackson Hole, Cataluña and La Fenasosa Bike Park.
