Sometimes I like to show some of my work in use and today I’ve got a cover from Norway to share. Fri Flyt is an action sports magazine that runs year round in Norway and other parts of Europe. Even though I don’t understand what it says I enjoy looking at this mag every month because they always choose great images. I’m therefore thrilled to have one of my images on the cover this month. The image was shot in British Columbia, Canada. I used a Canon 1D Mk4 and a 70-300 f4-5.6 L IS.

My 2013 calendar is now available for shipping via Open/Shut Calendars .  This calendar features some of my favorite images and locations from the last couple of years traveling the world shooting with the world’s best freeskiing athletes.  Readers in the UK will also be able to pick one up at any Snow & Rock store around the country but for all other readers Open/Shut will ship one to you.  Pricing on the website is available in GB ponds, Euros, US Dollars and Canadian Dollars though they will ship to further locations.

This is a beautifully printed A3 calendar with a real focus on the images.  It was important to me that it was printed nice and big and will make a wonderful Christmas present for someone else or just yourself for your bedroom or office wall.

I just got this in the mail a coupe of days ago from Norway, featured in Fri Flyt magazine. You can see the printed version (courtesy of a slightly bad iPhone photo) and the original version as well. I shot this with a Canon 1D MK4 and a 70-300 f4-5.6 L IS and then composited all the frames together in Photoshop.

In Print – Le Mans Images In Digital Photo

Expanding on the new One Click series post category which has been quite popular recently I thought I should also start posting some samples of my work in print. With both of these categories you can see what I actually get up to with all this gear that I’m always writing about, or at least that which I’m allowed to show you. So kicking things off today is a magazine which British readers will be familiar with, Digital Photo, the UKs largest photography magazine. They are running some of my recent motorsport images in their Big Shots gallery section at the front of the magazine. The main image is actually one that I featured on here a few weeks ago. UK readers can pick up this October issue of the magazine on store shelves right now.

SBC Skier cover shot of Dane Tudor

As a photographer there is very little that is more satisfying than walking into your local grocery store and seeing one of your images adorn the cover of your favorite ski magazine. When the issue in question is also the special 10th anniversary edition of the magazine it is even better!

This photo of Dane Tudor was shot in Haines, Alaska while I was up there last spring time shooting alongside the Poorboyz Productions crew. You can read all about my trip in this post HERE. The line that Dane is skiing was one that he had his eye on for a couple of weeks and it’s actually called “Too Short”. We’d scoped it out and taken photos of it from the heli a couple of times and as we past the time waiting for weather to clear in our hotel room Dane kept returning to the same photo over and over again, studying every detail and every angle and even marking his planned route down it. As with everything in Alaska though you have to be patient and wait for the conditions to be absolutely perfect. That means weather and snow and further still, snowpack stability. This particular line only gets a small amount of side lighting right at the end of the day so we needed a full clear day where no clouds rolled in. After 10 days of patchy conditions and prolonged down time we finally caught a break and Dane eased his way into this line. The snow that he found there was about the deepest we had seen during out time in Haines!

Photo data:

1/1250, iso 500 , f7.1

Shot with a 300mm f2.8 L IS on a Canon 1dMKIV

The other thing that gets me stoked about this shot is that Dane and I have been working together now for just over three years since before he really started to come into the limelight. Dane’s career has taken off over the last two years picking up Powder Magazine award for breakthrough performance of the year in 2010, ESPN performer of the year at the end of 2010 and Newschoolers best male performer too in 2009. Dane and I have a great partnership going on and last year saw us travel to Japan and Alaska together. Over the last few years since we met we have created several Salomon ads for their campaigns and had plenty of photos published in magazines all around the world. The one thing that eluded us to this point was a cover. This is Dane’s first cover and I’m glad that I got to be the one to shoot it. I’m sure there is a lot more to come from this partnership in the future and I’m excited to see where else in the world it’s going to take us.

I buy all of my photography gear from the guys at B&H Photo.

Equipment used for these images:

Canon 1dMKIV

Canon 300mm f2.8 L IS

Canon 1.4 teleconverter

Ad for Atomic Skis

This is an ad for Atomic Skis that I shot in Alaska last spring time.  It was shot with a Canon 1DMKIV and a 300mm f2.8 L IS with a 1.4 teleconverter on it.  The helicopter dropped me off on an opposite ridge to the line the guys were skiing on so I was quite some distance away.  The skier in the shot is professional freeskier Tim Durtchi and the guys from Poorboyz Productions were also on hand to film the action for their movie Revolver.  I knew Tim was going to do this trick off the cliff so I set up to shoot the sequence at 10fps.  In the end, when it came to putting the whole sequence together I only needed to use every other frame from the sequence.  Below is the original shot before it was turned into the ad.
