My First Video Surpassed A Quarter Of A Million Views

by

Whilst uploading a new video to my Vimeo channel last week I noticed that the very first video I ever created has now been viewed more than 285,000 times!  I can’t believe it !  The bulk of my creative work continues to be photographic but this video is a good reminder to me that I need to get out there and shoot more videos from time to time.  No special equipment was used to shoot the video, I simply used the things I already had for my photography business and shot it with a Canon 5dMKII.  Apart from being the …

Shooting Les 24 Heures Du Mans 2011

by

In June 2011 I got to fulfill a lifelong ambition and head to France to shoot the worlds greatest motor race, the 24 hours of Le Mans.  I’ve followed many forms of motorsports since I was young and before I discovered photography I was all set to work in the industry with an engineering degree.  Having attended the race at Le Mans in a spectating capacity several times I’ve always wanted to be on the other side of the fence with my camera and 2011 was my opportunity.  This race is unlike any other that I have ever been to …

NEW Ski Photography Website

by

IMPORTANT UPDATE: If you looked at the site in the last week with Internet Explorer it will have been broken and look a total mess.  The problem has now been fixed , please try again! Over the last couple of years my website has expanded from a simple portfolio site, to a ski photography blog/site and then further into other realms of photography. I want to take this opportunity to thanks everyone that reads my posts on a regular basis. I can’t believe that there are thousands upon thousands of you every day, it’s quite overwhelming !

World cup bobsled in my home town

by

I don’t often get to post photos of what I’m currently shooting because much of it has to stay under wraps until the clients have used them in the magazines or adverts. This weekend though I have my photojournalism hat on in my home town of Whistler, BC. The bobsled and skeleton world cup is here for the first round of the winter season at the Whistler Sliding Center that hosted the event for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Here is a photo from lasts nights 2-man bobsled event. Canada 1 bob piloted by Lyndon Rush grabbed joint second place in …

SBC Skier cover shot of Dane Tudor

by

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 …

New print available – Tree Skier

by

I have a new limited edition print available so I thought I would post up some shots of one already printed up and framed.  This is a photo of Austin Ross skiing across a fallen tree in Whistler, BC.

This example is printed at 24″ x 16″ on archival photo rag and then sprayed with an archival spray on top to keep it looking perfect for a very very long time!  The printing is done by a company who I consider to be the best professional printers in Vancouver.  I can ship anywhere and shipping is charged at cost.  If you have a specific image of mine that you would like to have framed then this can also be arranged.  Christmas is on it’s way and a nice framed print is always a great gift !  Click through for more pricing information and print options.

Ad for Atomic Skis

by

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 …
