If we chase adventure, adventure chases us.

"I believe that those who travel develop a sense of empathy, an understanding of those who are different and a greater appreciation for the world and people around them."

My name is John Clayton Ossenkop and I am a freelance photographer native to Boise, Idaho. Growing up in the stunning Pacific Northwest motivated me to see what else was out there. After graduating college a buddy and I decided to take an extended trip abroad and that’s when I really began to appreciate the raw beauty the rest of the planet has to offer.

This was the first time I immersed myself in new cultures, customs, and traditions found in other countries. While exploring, I found myself drawn to the unique landscapes, both natural and urban-based, displayed in each country. All were vastly unique and breathtaking in their own regard. This point has since propelled my passion for photography and adventure.

Now, when I am out traveling, be it internationally or enjoying domestic favorites, I am working towards perfecting my craft. Through this journey, I’d love to inspire others while continuing to learn and grow as a photographer. By sharing these beautiful moments I have been lucky enough to capture, I hope others will start in on their own journey as well. Enjoy what I have to offer, support my craftsmanship if you please, and appreciate the beauty found around us.

Be Yourself. Be Kind. Be Open. Go Adventure.

The Journey

Unearth the beauty lost in the everyday.

Boise Abroad represents a dream to capture the beauty and adventure of the world every-time we leave, to inspire those that dream about getting outside, and to showcase the stories of life around this globe.
