Whistler Blackcomb Ad – Peak To Peak

by

I sold a photo to Whistler Blackcomb recently for them to use in an advert for the new Peak to Peak gondola. If you haven’t heard of the gondola project check it out here. The gondola spans the valley between Whistler and Blackcomb mountain and will be officially opened this winter. The clever part is in the design though, it’s only held up by four lift towers on its 2.8 mile length leaving a 1.88 mile length in the middle completely unsupported! This is the shot of Marshal Talbot that was used. It was shot on Whistler mountain this past …

How to make a cheap twin flash bracket.

by

Firstly let’s just quickly cover why you might want to make a twin flash bracket. Using two flashes where you might normally only have one has several advantages.

Secondly if you use both flashes at half power, you’ll have the same total power as with one flash but with a much faster recycling time.

Adverts for Spyder clothing

Here’s a couple of cool adverts for Spyder clothing, both were shot at Camp Of Champions on the Horstman Glacier here in Whistler this summer.

Dan Carr feature in Ski And Snow

by

Ski And Snow is the largest snow sports magazine in the southern hemisphere and this winter then ran an 8 page article and photo gallery about me and my photography. Check it out! I’m stoked and obviously very flattered, it looked fantastic. As an added bonus I also had the cover of the very same issue with a shot of Jossi Wells at Snowpark in New Zealand.

New Zealand magazine article.

by

    Last summer I was sent on an assignment to New Zealand to ski on an active volcano on the North Island.  I took British pro skiers Darryl Ball and Luke Potts with me and the article was run in the British ski mag Fall Line.  This was one of my all time coolest trips so far doing this job, starting the trip off in Queenstown on the South Island and driving all the way up the coast to take the ferry over to the N.Island. Huge thanks to the New Zealand tourist board for helping us out as …
