Whistler Blackcomb ad campaign – Part 1

by

As winter gets a little closer every day, the ski magazines begin to hit the shelves again.  Always an exciting time of year for me as I begin to see the fruits of my labor from last season.  The first one I’m posting up here was just published in Powder Magazine (though Australian readers may have seen it a few months ago in some mags over there too).  This is the first in a series of ads that I shot in the spring time for the ski resort Whistler Blackcomb.  Some of you will recognize Whistler as one of the …

This is the shot of Marshal Talbot that was used. It was shot on Whistler mountain this past …

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. Thanks to Fabia Gruebler,Matt Sterbenz and the 4FRNT crew for arranging the sunset shoot for Matt Hayward (in the yellow suit) and big thanks to the COC park crew for keeping such an imaculate park and pipe. For the Strobists out there, Matt’s shot was lit with an Elinchrom Ranger RX on full power behind the lip of the jump and shot at 1/200 f9.0 iso 100 and 115mm on a 70-200 at about 8:00pm. …
