I traded comfort for a camera, a truck, and a wilder kind of life.


It’s not always pretty, but it’s mine.

I’m Kyle

I’m a photographer, filmmaker, and the guy currently living full-time out of a truck.
This Way Wild is where I share the stories, the missteps, and the beauty I find along the way—on dusty backroads, early morning hikes, and in the quiet moments most people scroll past.
I’m forcing myself to learn how to embrace imperfection. It’s about showing up, making things that matter, and learning on the fly.

Let’s Build Something That Doesn’t Suck

This Way Wild is more than a solo trip—it’s a creative project built on storytelling, good design, and doing things the hard way (when it’s worth it).

If you’re a brand, maker, outfitter, or human doing something interesting—and you believe in thoughtful, high-quality work—I’d love to connect.

I partner with people and products I actually use and trust. No staged hype. No half-baked promos. Just real stories, told well.

Brands I've Worked With

From documenting off-grid adventures to leading full-scale campaigns, I’ve collaborated with folks like: Roadtrip Oregon, Kokopelli Packrafts, Niner Bikes, Radica Products, and a range of brands through my commercial studio, KPL Studios—including Amazon, Opendoor, Ohm Fitness, The Arizona Hideaway Collection, Desert Diamond Arena, and Sandia Resort & Casino.

If your gear can survive the back of my truck—or your story deserves more than a template—I’m listening.
