On Episode 98 of The Life of Phys Podcast, host Tyson Martin sits down with Hailey Elise, a professional mountain bike athlete, photographer, and videographer whose life is built around adventure, creativity, and the outdoors.

Raised in the mountains surrounding Vancouver, British Columbia, Hailey developed a deep love for sport, exploration, and pushing her limits. That passion eventually led her to Whistler, one of the world’s most iconic mountain biking destinations, where riding bikes and creating images became the foundation of her creative career.

As both an athlete and an award-winning photographer who has competed in Deep Summer, Dirt Diaries Which she won in 2025 and Red Bull Illume, Hailey brings a rare perspective to action sports photography. She understands the terrain, timing, and risk behind the moments she captures because she lives them herself.

In this episode, Hailey shares her journey from shooting Fashion and running a fashion blog during university to building a career documenting mountain biking, adventure, and outdoor culture through photography and film.

Tyson and Hailey also discuss the collaborative nature of photography, the creative energy found in outdoor environments, and why chasing adventure and creativity does not have an age limit.

If you’re interested in mountain bike photography, action sports storytelling, outdoor adventure, and the mindset behind pushing creative and athletic limits, this episode offers an inspiring conversation with one of the rising voices in adventure photography.

The Life of Phys Podcast explores the deeper stories behind photographers, filmmakers, artists, athletes, and creatives who believe in the idea that Photography Heals Your Soul.
