Nike ACG—Caleb Olson Trail Race

Swanson Studio provided post production and commercial retouching for Nike ACG imagery featuring trail runner Caleb Olson following his win at the Broken Arrow Skyrace.

Captured across the rugged terrain of the Sierra Nevada, the imagery documents Olson running in a prototype of the Nike ACG Ultrafly, a shoe developed for technical trail conditions. The photographs balance environmental scale with moments of physical intensity, positioning the athlete within the demanding landscape the product was built to perform in.

Swanson’s post production team managed retouching, color refinement and final image finishing across the campaign assets. The approach focused on preserving the natural atmosphere of the mountain environment while refining contrast, tonal depth and material clarity to ensure consistency across final deliverables.

Operating as a standalone post production partner, Swanson Studio delivered high-end commercial retouching for the campaign imagery, supporting Nike ACG’s storytelling around performance, endurance and technical trail running.

The result is a refined set of race imagery that captures both the scale of the terrain and the intensity of Olson’s performance.
