Oscar spent the better part of his childhood playing with photography. But it was only later as he was developing a career as an outdoor athlete that multimedia became a paramount part of his life. Creating concepts and projects to narrate his professional journey and share adventures with the world enabled Oscar to make this a full-time way of life. After working on media projects leading up to the 2016 Olympic Games, whilst trying to maintain a competitive athletic pathway, the two spheres became hard to manage at a professional level. 

Oscar stepped back, and was able to reassess and learn from some of the greats of the trade. The time had come to implement his own work, on his own terms. So 286 West was born, inspired by the untamed beauty of Scotland and the diverse connections it has with all the corners of the globe.

Previous collaborations include:

Red Bull, NRS, Mons Royale, Visit Scotland, Freeride Worldtour, Outdoor Research, Lettmann, ICF, Adidas, Vaude
