‘The Wild White Mountains’ follows a small-town photographer as he ventures through the hardwood forests of New Hampshire in pursuit of light.

What does it feel like to photograph a black bear from just a few feet away? Or to document the rapid erosion of an ancient mountain pass? For wildlife photographer Shaun Terhune, it feels like a day’s work. And he wouldn’t change a thing.

In under 8 minutes, Terhune discusses what makes his hometown, buried in the White Mountain range, so unique. From its foundation as a logging settlement to its present iteration as a busy art and brewery hub, the community of Littleton appears unabashedly, resiliently wild.

Follow a day in the life of Terhune as he captures artifacts, landscapes, and unbridled backcountry in “The Wild White Mountains” by VAGRANTS, Eastern Mountain Sports, and The North Face.
