adidas INFINITE TRAILS 2026
through the eyes of our photographers
Ian Corless
Ian Corless has gained prominence for his exceptional photography within the trailrunning and ultra running communities. He travels to various scenic locations around the world to document trail races, capturing the breathtaking landscapes and the sheer determination of the athletes who participate in these events.
Anne Kaiser
Anne Kaiser is an outdoor, lifestyle and sports photographer based in the Munich area, Germany. Her photography is driven by a deep connection to people, movement and the outdoors. She captures authentic moments that go beyond the competition itself – the emotions, personalities and stories that make outdoor sports so powerful.
With a background in personal branding, corporate and editorial photography, Anne brings a strong eye for authentic storytelling to the trailrunning and outdoor world. Her work focuses on creating natural, emotional imagery that shows athletes as they really are – in moments of determination, joy, exhaustion and connection with nature.
Sport has always been an important part of Anne’s life, from skiing, hiking and climbing to surfing and wingfoiling. This personal connection to movement and adventure allows her to understand and anticipate the moments that matter, both on and off the trail.
She works with outdoor and sports brands, companies, events and athletes who share her passion for authentic visual storytelling. For Anne, photography is not just about documenting a race – it is about telling the story of the people, the landscape and the experience behind it.
Manuel Marktl
Manuel Marktl is a versatile photographer, drone pilot, and outdoor enthusiast. Born in Spain, he spent his formative years in the mountainous region of Carinthia, Austria. His photography journey began at the age of 13 when he started capturing the excitement of skiing and freeriding with friends.
Over time, Manuel had the privilege of collaborating with exceptional clients and athletes from around the world. Drawing from these diverse experiences, he has developed expertise in commercial outdoor on-location productions, sports photography, and still life. His work reflects a unique blend of technical precision and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of outdoor landscapes.
Matthias Wendling
Matthias Wendling is an enthusiastic photographer who not only loves photography but also mountains and adventures. After a three-year world trip, he made photography his main profession and enjoys holding a camera in his hands every day.
His approach to photography is characterized by naturalness and authenticity. With Matthias, there are no staged poses because he believes that honest emotions and spontaneous interactions create the most beautiful moments in photography.
Melanie Többe
Melanie Többe is an outdoor, travel & lifestyle photographer from rural Lower Saxony (Falkenberg) who channels her passion for nature into her work. Her photos are meant to inspire viewers to embrace outdoor adventures just as much as she does, which is why she collaborates closely with brands and companies that share similar values.
Her journey into photography began during a semester abroad in Australia, where a photography course sparked her deep love for the craft – ever since, her camera has accompanied her on travels around the world. She mainly works with outdoor-focused companies, magazines, and brands that seek authentic, nature-driven imagery.
Sportograf
With Sportograf we can offer you a participant photo service that ensures that each and everyone of you will get his/her race pictures. You can choose to just buy a single photo or purchase the so called “Foto-Flat” – a package, which contains all personal pictures and additionally, a selection of the best generic impressions of the event.
Sportograf has always had its finger on the pulse of the time. They were the first supplier on the market to make their photos available exclusively for digital download and 15 years later they still have new ideas to make their products and services even better.
The new selfie search software will be used to assign your photos. The search function was developed by the Sportograf IT department and sorts your pictures by your selfie. They are therefore no longer dependent on perfectly legible bib numbers. It has already been used across the board at events of all kinds this year.
