jsiegelphotography Filmmakers @jsiegelphotography and @fitzwander set out to capture the ancient art of eagle hunting in Kyrgyzstan. What they found was far more than a film—it was a whirlwind of breakdowns, borrowed gear, and the kind of unexpected kindness that turns strangers into friends. From sweltering train rides and sketchy border crossings to riding alongside eagle hunters on sheer mountain cliffs, their journey was a testament to grit, resourcefulness, and the beauty of the unknown. We’ll have the full story and film on The Journal at the link in our bio.

natgeo Captured by photographer Jason Siegel @jsiegelphotography, eagle hunter Rinat Mirlanov rests with his golden eagle above the village of Bokonbayevo in Kyrgyzstan. Eagle hunting, known as berkutchi in Kyrgyz, is an ancient tradition in the country in which hunters train golden eagles to hunt small prey like foxes and hares, requiring years of trust and reliance between the eagle and the hunter. Although eagle hunting today is considered more of a hobby, it was originally used as a means of survival, providing villagers with both food and clothing.See more Photos of the Day at the link in bio.

PROVEN SUCCESS

The first installment of “Tales From the Road” took us across Uzbekistan + Kyrgyzstan, combining our love of adventure, photography, and filmmaking while immersing ourselves in a new culture.

The project drove skyrocketing organic views across Instagram and YouTube, with features and shares from National Geographic, Leica, Huckberry, Frame Set, and Lens Addiction.

Kyrgyzstan proved the concept. Ethiopia is the next installment.
