Thank you to all the photographers that shared their favorite photos of people hiking in this photo contest with chances to win a Polaroid Snap Touch Portable Instant and more!
A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Noël Alva for his collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest. My name is Noël Alva and I'm a Los Angeles native photographer who has been shooting for 16 years. I mainly focus on lifestyle and travel on my Instagram @noel.alva but I shoot everything from weddings to concert photography as well. I shoot with a Nikon D750 and 20mm 1.8 lens about 98% of the time. Although I live in Los Angeles, I never am home because I'm always out seeking adventure in beautiful places with wonderful individuals. My next big adventure is in November where I move to Guatemala for several months before then roaming all over Central and South America for up to two years until I make it to Patagonia.
