Edgar Hurtado is a photographer specializing in adventure and extreme sports, who found a second chance behind the camera after a near-death experience and a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. From a young age, he excelled in mountain biking, representing Mexico in Pan-American downhill competitions. However, a deep personal loss led him to step away from sports whilst enduring a depression, and during his recovery, he discovered his passion for capturing the unique landscapes and moments found in nature.

With over 120,000 followers on his digital platforms, Edgar uses his experiences to inspire others, including people with diabetes, to overcome adversity. His work has been supported by brands such as Trek, Red Bull, and Monster Energy, and through his photos and videos, he has reached millions, sharing a message of resilience and a profound connection to nature. Today, Edgar continues documenting his adventures, showing that despite challenges, one can live a fulfilling life connected to the environment and oneself.
