Eight years of skiing at Whistler, photographing a few World Cup races and various mountain sports gave me the professional edge to produce cutting edge images. It means staying in top shape, being able to read the weather, having the right angle and taking a few calculated risks. It's about truly expressing the excitement, thrill, and pure adrenaline that's involved. You no longer think about it, you act instinctively. Photgraphy of this nature is the same. "Use the camera as an extension of your perceiving body ...make it an appendage; a part of you." That's what my film studies teacher Bruce Elder used to stress. Here's some dynamic snow board shots taken at Moonstone; which has the best riders and best terrain Park this side of Whistler. Capture the essence by going where the best elements present themselves.
