Kyle LaFerriere Blends Endurance and Photography in the Heart of the Grand Canyon

Posted on

Photographer Kyle LaFerriere recently documented an epic 44-mile endurance run known as R2R2R (Rim to Rim to Rim): a demanding trek across the Grand Canyon and back in a single day. The journey began at 5:30 AM and wrapped up 14 hours later, pushing both physical and creative limits.

This marked Kyle’s second time completing the run, but it was the first time he brought a camera along. Although he was new to the Leica Q3 system, he found it remarkably intuitive and capable. Despite the intensity of the day, the camera performed flawlessly, allowing Kyle to capture powerful images that reflect both the vastness of the landscape and the grit of the experience.
