Capturing Timeless Moments with Aera and Steve Woods: An Underwater and Mountain Adventure / by Ian Harland

Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with Aera, a watch company based in Geneva, and one of their ambassadors Steve Woods, a legendary underwater photographer, for a series of commercial photography shoots. Aera's commitment to timeless design, quality, and functionality made them a perfect partner for this project, and working with Steve Woods was an unforgettable experience. In this blog post, I'll share some highlights from our adventures in Mexico and the North Shore mountains of Vancouver.

Our first location took us to the crystal-clear waters off the coast of Mexico, where we encountered majestic Blue and Mako sharks. Under the guidance of Steve Woods, we captured the powerful elegance of these creatures, all while showcasing the durability and precision of Aera watches. The watches' minimalist design and rugged functionality perfectly complemented the raw beauty of the underwater world, making for stunning and memorable photographs.

Next, we ventured to the breathtaking North Shore mountains of Vancouver. Surrounded by lush forests and rugged terrain, we aimed to highlight Aera's dedication to creating watches that can endure the test of time and the elements. The watch's classic tool-inspired design shone through as we trekked through the mountains, capturing its resilience and timeless aesthetic against the backdrop of Canada's natural beauty.
