Au Volume 4 gets to the heart of Aurora and the photography we are passionate about: Athletes performing near-miraculous feats of strength, agility and daring; adventurers facing down steep challenges and batting the elements; the majesty of untamed beauty and the natural world; and exotic far away lands that capture the imagination. The thread that ties it all together are authentic people living in the moment, pushing limits, picking berries, rising to the occasion, rowing a boat, living life from the heart. This is who we are. This is Aurora.
