The Story Behind Extreme Landscape Photography - Climbing Mount Haba in Yunnan

To capture extreme landscape photos, Thomas not only pursues perfection in post-processing, but also strives to explore the world's inaccessible natural landscapes when shooting.

This May, Thomas climbed Mount Haba (5,396 m) in Yunnan and filmed the entire summit process of a mountaineering team made up of climbers from China, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Five months later, thanks to the efforts of two directors, many photographers, and all the climbing team members of Lion City Fun Club, our climbing documentary is finally out.

The Haba Climbing Documentary

This is a true snow-mountain climbing documentary about ordinary people. It not only witnesses the miracle of all 30-plus members summiting Mount Haba, but also records a romantic proposal above the sea of clouds, freezing those tear-jerking moments in time!

Selected Photos

The sun rises from behind the sea of clouds, shining through gaps in the thick cloud layer, casting light onto the climbers.

Against the majestic snowy mountains, the climbers appear tiny.

Modern mountaineering is a systematic endeavor. Scientific planning and teamwork are prerequisites for safe climbing. The photo shows the horses transporting supplies for us.

In the darkness, the moving headlamps of climbers formed a trail of light.

The most extreme landscapes are often in dangerous, remote places. Without a long and exhausting climb, you'd never see such breathtaking scenery above the sea of clouds.

When I reach the summit, all other mountains look small beneath my feet!
