i start college tomorrow and got told to research some photographers over summer and i was wondering are there any involved in skiing part or full time

i've looked at others outside of skiing like ansel adams, but was wondering if any protographers have any particular shooting styles that i could try to replicate in my course this year

help?

Check out Blake Jorgenson, he's one of my fav. skiing photographers.

Also if you check out any ski mags just look for the name of the photographer who took any pictures you like and research more. If their shot gets in a mag they usually have talent.

Jordan Manley takes incredible photos. And is from my city. And he is not just a ski photographer, hes blowing up with incredible bike photos. Peep this.

replicating style is dumb. That is why Manely is so great, he finds his own unique perspectives that really show the action well.
To many ski photographers shoot from the same tried and true angles with the same comps and it is boring. this is true for non ski photographers too. The best photographers are the ones that are willing to get creative, they walk around visualizing how it might look thinking of different ways to showcase their subject.

If you want a famous photographer for your project who has had something to do with skiing I would chose Chase, guy is one of the best photographers around right now in my opinion (he does not do a lot of skiing work anymore).

the course i'm taking says you have to research an artist and their style, make it influence your sketchbook that you make and you have to replicate their style in a few of the photographs

Feel free to flame me but Chase Jarvis is a very average photographer. He just markets himself extremely well, which I give him huge credit for, that's what the game is all about these days.

Nothing could ever beat his work at Yosemite. The best landscape shots of all time.
