LAX magic hour

2011-09-29T12:51:00.000-07:00

There's no light like dawn and dusk. Photo and video nerds and nerdettes call it magic hour for one simple reason it's flippin' inspiring. The slum, paradise, LAX, it don't matter, things just look better. It's kinda like food and daylight. If it looks good inside, take it outside and it looks 10x better. Anyway, here's what I banged off one solo lonely magic hour at LAX off a 12 hour flight.

Aaron Biittner

2011-09-26T12:15:00.000-07:00

Apart from the annoying spelling on Aaron's last name (I say that because I always mess it up, but in reality it's way cool), this guy is pretty chill. Style for days, good vibes, ya know like someone you want to be around. I recently did a trip to New Zealand with Aaron and the rest of the DC international team. Conditions, not exactly ideal, but when your with good people, good things happen. Check back this week for photos with the rest of the crew.

Thanks Nick Olsen, and Brian for everything, Colin for being cool with a second photographer, and the boarders for boarding, and being such cool cats.

This Friday- All.I.CAN. World Premiere - Whistler, BC

2011-09-21T10:21:00.000-07:00

I would hate to be making a snow video this year. The bar has been set so high with all this new technology and heli budgets. Directors Dave Mossop and Eric Crosland and the Sherpas Cinema boys are one of those few crews raising the bar time and time again. Drama. The good kind.
There new video All.I.Can, is premiering this Friday in Whistler, at the Conference Center, with most of the athletes in attendance. Kye Petersen, Mark Abma, Eric Hjorleifson, JP Auclair, James Heim, Chris Rubens, Mike Douglas, Dana Flahr, Rory Bushfield, Ian McIntosh, Lynsey Dyer, Alexis Godbout, Matty Richard, Chad Sayers and more.
All.I.Can won the award for BEST DOCUMENTARY and MOST INNOVATIVE VISUAL FX at IF3 International Freeski Film Festival in Montreal.
Check out the teaser. Come check out the premiere and enjoy the ride.

Oh and come find me on the red carpet. I've somehow become 'that' photographer. Great way to meet people doing what I love. Thanks Malcolm for the job!

Art of Flight Premier Vancouver

2011-09-21T09:03:00.000-07:00

The Brian Farm crew wrapped up another sold out show last week in Vancouver at the Center of Performing Arts. I don't need to hype this one up. Best snow video to date, hands down. Watch the trailer, buy the video on itunes. You won't regret it.

Thanks Cory @ redbull and Dario @ quiksilver for the job.

sandbox premier

2011-09-14T14:53:00.000-07:00

Sandbox movie 'Day and Age' and the new Flow movie premiered last weekend at Millenuim place in Whistler. It's looking pretty fantastic. The afterparty was a Garfs, where Dom and Kevin rented a photo booth slash makeout room. Little did most of us know that both Sandbox and Garfinkels get digital copies of those photos. Haha.. Can't wait to see those.
I shoot some 'red carpet' photo and drinking entertainment.

A couple people got pretty lose, to say the least. Alice takes the cake tho. Aparently little Griffin, aka Kevin Griffin's bro, got up to take a leak and came back to Alice in his seat. Grif kicked her out so she layed down in the middle of the stage. Of course the crowd yelled 'dump em out' and before long 'they' were out. Sansalone dragged her out. Thanks for the entertainment Alice!!

Appologies for not being able to get the photos in order.. switching blogs next week..

Check out the sandbox teaser and site here and Flow snowboard fanpage here

Props to Clayton Larsen, Leo Hoorn, Kevin Sansalone, Matt Belzile, Scot Brown, Tim Humphreys, Rusty Ockenden, Ryan Hall, Logan Short, Dave Short, Clint Allen, Wiley Teseo and anyone else I am forgetting. Nice work boys!

Art of Flight Premier

2011-09-13T14:02:00.001-07:00

Art of Flight, hands down the best snowboard movie to date. The work, money and skills that went into this project is over the top. Last night it premiered to a sold out audience in Whistler at the Conference center. Quiksilver hired me to shoot some red carpet action, so unfortunately I only got to enjoy parts of it on the big screen. But what I saw blew me away. Props to Travis Rice, Kurt Morgan and the whole crew for all the heart and talent put into this thing. Respect.

Girls Grab Guide In Golden Ride

2010-12-29T06:12:00.001-08:00

We, especially girls, tend to get comfortable with the same few grabs, and that's kind of where it stops. I though doing a grab guide for girls would help us - A- know what grabs were what, and B- actually start grabbing outside of our comfort levels. There's still a bunch missing (like Helen's Taipan), from our 5 days of yoga flexing, muscle pulling grabs, but Golden Ride in Europe did a good job of getting most on the page. Thanks Anita and all the ladies for participating. :)

Riders in order of appearance: Jessica Kimura, Silvia Mittermuller, Dominique Vallee, Vera Janssen, Taylor Godber, Robin Van Gyn, Spencer O'brien, Raewyn Reid, and Marie Gagnon.

DCP on the Cover of Snow Surf

2010-12-16T18:49:00.000-08:00

A little shameless self promotion.. whatever.. this is my 4th Cover this year, so far.. so blessed! yea David!

Working with the Yes Now Board crew is awesome fun, productive and they make it real easy to get tons of shoots. These guys, DCP, RDM and JPS are on point with everything they do (well, maybe not JP's timeliness, but definitely with the boarding).

I cold called DCP last year in March. I'd only just briefly shaken his hand in the Baldface helipad/parking lot a couple weeks before, but had to snatch his number off someone else to make the call that day.

It was right before a 4 four day sunny spell, in Whistler. The snow had been continouisly falling and 2 weeks of solid grey, yet the snow pack was said to be stable, so we all knew those days ahead where gonna be good! I always try to line up a solid crew a couple days before those sunny days come so I can get a handful of keepers. Obviously DCP, RDM and JPS had options. They could have lined up plenty of other photographers they had worked with in the past, but I guess they checkout my site and decided they would take a chance on me. I was suprised and more then grateful! From the get go, we hit it off great and they made me feel like part of the family.

At first they agreed to the first two days, but when I clarified by asking if I should line up another crew for the two days after, they said let just shoot till it the suns gone, or everyones legs turn to jello (yea right). From my experience that's usually works out best with a solid crew like this. Especially when your freelancing it. Selling shots of this crew is like selling candy to a baby, and all the mags are down to run at least a banger or two of each of them so there's no shots going unseen.

From those four days alone I sold 3 ad's, got at least one photo published in Snowboarder, TWS, Snowboard Mag, Kingsnow, Slash, Frequency, Mountain Life, Transfer, Aus and NZ Snowboarder, and a cluster-f of Euro and Jap mags, and more notably, this cover. Thanks for taking that chance boys!

Yes is making killer boards these days and sporting a awesome mixed bag backcountry crew from legends to 'rookie' up and comers. They're making their own movie released next fall and without a doubt it's gonna be killer. I anticipate some wicked footage from everyone including Tadashi Fuse, Benji Ritchie, Mikey Pederson, Jake Kioa, Frank April, and Helen Sketini.

Enfin, un grand merci à Vianney et tout le monde à Snow Surf Mag Snowboard, pour votre amour et votre soutien.

Holy Bolts it's almost 2011! Woke up to more new snow and a digital copy of Snowboarder. Might be one of the last times I'll find my stuff in Snowboarder... *sob*

Thanks Benjamin Ritchie, DCP and Jessica Kimura for dancing in front of my lens last season. You guys rip!

Pete gave me some love in his Colum too! Thanks Pete, too bad some wise guy spell checked the first question and answer.. it orginally said Kanada, or Canda, or something like that. I've never been there. Anyway, if the first answer doesn't make sense to you either, i think it's always easiest to blame Tom Monterosso. ;)

Go shred!!

Jenny Jones

2010-11-10T00:19:00.000-08:00

I had only meet Jenny once, briefly, at a dinner years before, when we got bunked together for 5 nights at Rettallack lodge this past winter. When you live out of a suitcase 80% of the year, and barely get to see your family and close friends, there's times when you get thrown into a new crew and feel somewhat ummm what the word- out of place? home sick? Luckly, it doesn't happen often, and it definitely didn't happen with Jenny on this trip. This chick is rad. We became friends over night and by day two I found myself telling things to Jenny.. well lets just say things I definitely wouldn't post on facebook or this blog. I've only seen this girl once since, briefly on some mountain in some park, for some minutes, but I have to say I miss her presence. Hope to share a room with you again soon Mrs. Jones! Stay rad.

RVCA

2010-11-09T08:27:00.000-08:00

I hit up LA, Halloween weekend and did a little shoot with RVCA. My homie Geordie Gillies hooked it up. I grew up just down the street from this guy, but I barely get to see him anymore. Much love Geordie, looking good!! Thanks Andrea Hellebuyck, RVCA and Dawn. More pics to come.

About the Artist:

In our postmodern, image-driven milieu, even the most sensational scenes

can barely elicit a reaction. Yet, when the active elements of mystery and

humanity intersect, images can reach right out and touch us. It is with

passion and perception that Ashley Barker arrives at this intersection with

her photography. Formal training at the Western Academy Of Photography

and a grand sense of scale, born of her Alberta roots, inform her visual

perspective. An accomplished commercial artist at only 25, Barker's photos

are in demand with the world's foremost publishers of snowboarding, skiing

and action culture. She loves the mountains and works fervently to gain skill

and experience shooting in the alpine environment. And it is out there, far

from the manmade constructs of so-called civilization that her passion finds

expression.

2010-09-15T16:20:00.001-07:00

With all the new special girls issue snowboard magazines, it's pretty rare to see a girl on a cover. Not this month, Hana landed on the back Cover of Snowboarder Magazine, 3rd issue! She deserves it, yea girl.
We shot this slash on our trip to Valdez, Alaska last april with H20 Heli operations. That story is coming out in Snowboarder First Girls Issue which will hit newstands in October. Can't wait to check it out!

Thank you Pat Bridges and Hug Hughes for the cover, trip and all your support over the years. Without your support I wouldn't be were I am today. Also Standard Films, Leanne Pelosi, Kimmy Fasani, Aaron Karitis, H20 Heli, Travis Robb, Chris Ondo, DC shoes and everyone that has every bought a snowboard magazine anywhere.

Congrats to Tim Peare and Austen Sweetin on the cover on the other side. Nice work boys!

Corey Sheppard

2010-09-10T07:32:00.000-07:00

I shot some portraits with Shepps last week for his upcoming artist profile in SBC. Corey is a wizard with photoshop and digital manipulation, and it's his vision to display that with his portrait as well. So instead of doing some crazy set up for the shoot, we kept it simple stupid and tried a couple easy things. He's probably gonna buck on the post production, and I imagine that I won't recognize the image when it's all said and done. Can't wait to see what comes out of it!!

Corey and Anthony Leffelaar started a new headwear company called Vivo headwear. They put together a sick snow and skate team, and some real fine quality dome gear. Check out there stuff, it's gooooood.

Did you know Peter Line has a tail?!?

2010-09-09T17:46:00.000-07:00

I was going through some imges last night and I came across this gem. It's a light test shot of Vera for one of my Nikita Monday shoots at Camp of Champs. It made me smile. This chick is soo rad. Super good ripper, kills it on a snowmachine and slaughters it at life on a regular. Check her out in the new Alterna video this fall.

My friend was on the hunt for a new point and shoot this weekend. I can't pretend I am up to date with all the new point and shots coming out every week, but it's fun to catch up every once and a while. So I put in some hours researching and reading up on the latest and greatest to help him out. It came down to two cameras in the end which happen to be brothers both part of the Leica family. Panasonic LX5 and a Leica Dlux 4. After much debate he dropped in on the panasonic at half the price of the Dlux.

In the end you can get nice pictures with any camera, but having a good camera does help someone realize their vision and bring it to life. A good camera makes it easier and makes it fun. If you shoot with a camera that you enjoy shooting, your images will be better for it. Have fun Mark!

I scanned my profile from Frequency's latest photo book today. I was so excited when Colin Wisemen asked me to be apart of it last year. It's one of those issues I look forward to seeing every year; so to be apart of it is something else. If you love snowboarding and high quality prints, buy this mag.

Thanks so much for your support everyone over a funny feelings!! http://www.frqncy.com/

Mikey Rencz Snowboader Cover

2009-12-02T10:37:00.000-08:00

Every snowboard photographers dream is to get a photo annual cover, and somehow I managed to land one of my favorite shots on the cover of Snowboarder Mag's 2009!!

This shot was taking in Revelstoke in a sled zone none of us had ever been to (thanks dustin for being such a loud mouth). I drove there the night before to meet up with the crew and got in the revy at 3am and meet them at 630 at timmy hoe hoes. So bascially I was delirious that day. It was my first day ever shooting with Mikey and Eero Niemela, and this was the first hit of the day!! So sick.

Special thanks to the crew (Carlino, Niemela and Rencz) , Pat Bridges, Ryan Hughes, and Tom at Snowboarder for using my shit. And special special thanks to Jeff Patterson for being a selfish bastard (yes ur but i still like u), and getting me kicked off the Snowboarder shoot at Norquay. Without you, bud, this never would have happened.

Intelligence

2009-09-10T18:21:00.000-07:00

I picked up this book called 'Intelligence' by Osho, from the library a couple days ago. Good book. I recommend it. Here's a little food for thought from it.
"I have heard about two men who were partners in a business. Their business was very unique and they used to travel around the country. One partner would go into a town, and in the night he would go around and throw coal tar on people's windows, and then disappear by morning. After two or three days, the other would come. He would offer to clean the coal tar from people's windows. And people would pay, of course--they had to pay. One would do the damage, the other would come to undo it."
Remind you of something?
