DANIEL HARPER
From the Georgia pines to the jagged ridgelines of Jackson Hole, Daniel Harper has always chased that one lasting moment. The instant when the light hits the snow just right, and the camera starts to roll. It's a pursuit that's taken him from summer camps in the South to winters buried in the Tetons, always with a lens in hand.
With countless summers at outdoor adventure camps, and a lifetime of documenting friends, mountains, and moments, he founded Zero G Films as a space where raw and honest storytelling meets the terrain he calls home. What began as a hobby scratched into notebooks and shot on borrowed cameras has grown into a full crew, but the instinct behind it hasn't changed. Point the lens at something true and let it speak for itself.
Daniel believes in images and stories that breathe. They're not perfect, they're anchored. His work captures the everyday rituals and the epic days alike: the quiet dawn boot-pack, the camera rolling mid-cliff drop, the laughter backstage between takes. Whether it's a short film or a full-length project, the approach stays the same. Show up early, stay out late, and trust that the real moment will always beat the staged one.
Three things that never change.
Community over spectacle
It's about the crew, the builder, the local rider, the moment before lift-line opens.
Story in the stillness
Snow, silence, and the subtle shift of mood matter as much as big air.
Place first
The mountains are not just backdrop. They're characters in the narrative.
When he's not editing a film, he's out hiking a line, scouting light in the high country, or trading story-rolls with athletes and filmmakers alike. Ask him about the one shot that got away and be ready to sit down for a while. He'll tell you the whole story, weather included.
