North Aspect Media documents moments that can’t be staged or repeated, working within active, controlled, and real-world environments.

I’m Blake Kessler, the founder and lead creative behind North Aspect Media. My work focuses on environments where timing, access and coordination matter; places where production has to adapt to the location, not the other way around.

That approach was shaped by years spent working inside mountain operations, first in dispatch and later as the in-house photo & video coordinator for Palisades Tahoe. Since then, I’ve continued to document people, places, and systems as they operate in real time, working safely and efficiently inside complex environments.

North Aspect Media is built for teams and organizations that need accurate, thoughtful documentation without disrupting ongoing operations. If your work happens in real time and under real constraints, this is where I do my best work.
