Overview

It takes courage to leave a secure job at the BBC and follow your dreams but Keith Partridge has courage in abundance and a very cool head. My memories include him filming with a huge smile across his face and an even bigger camera on his shoulder, balanced precariously on the Hinterstoisser Traverse as if standing in a local park. To arrive there we'd shared a peculiar frisson of fear whilst being wired down from a helicopter onto the North Face of the Eiger.

Author Information

Keith Partridge has been one of the world's leading adventure cameramen for two decades. The BAFTA winning Touching The Void, Beckoning Silence and Human Planet are just some of the films that have taken him to the ends of the earth. If some astonishing location has amazed you on television, or you have watched a climber, or explorer, in some outrageous position, the chances are that Keith Partridge was there with his camera. From the caves of Papua New Guinea to the summit of Mount Everest, no location has been too dangerous, no environment too wild, for his daring and consummate artistry. In this lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed volume Keith Partridge tells his story, describes the challenges and discusses the daring adventurers he has shared with personalities such as Steve Backshall, Joe Simpson, and Stephen Venables. Keith Partridge was brought up in North Walsham, Norfolk and now lives on Scotland's east coast with his wife, Andrea and two children. He continues to travel the world, filming in wild and challenging locations.
