Stefan Klabunde is one half of the team behind the digital film and video production company, Rugged Frames. I’ve been aware of Stefan’s work for some time, through his work for brands like Touratech and organisations like the Adventure Country Tracks (ACT). I was very happy to be able to sit down and chat with him.

You can see examples of Rugged Frames'  work at their website, on Vimeo and on Instagram:
