After returning from Switzerland where I was shooting for SBC Skier magazine and Orage clothing we were greeted with an even more incredible amount of snow in Whistler than was here when we left. It’s just been another incredible year here and I couldn’t ask for a better place to call home. The original plan [...]
I’ve been doing this for some time but yesterday someone commented on it and I thought I ought to post about it. Sometimes I use a monopod when I’m shooting. Either with large lenses like my 300mm f.28 L IS or sometimes smaller lenses if I have slow shutter speed or I’m trying to frame [...]
This might seem like an odd “Photo Tip” but trust me on this one, I’ve added it to the beginners section of Ski & Snowboard Photography 101 because it’s an easy thing that you can do from the get go to focus your creativity. When you plan on spending a long time on a mountain [...]
This photo of Alexi was shot during a sunset session whilst shooting for Whistler Blackomb , my home resort. The heli was filming for Poorboyz Productions and was getting right in there all night. I’m glad I managed to capture a shot that gives you an idea quite how close these guys were flying to [...]
This photo of Dane Tudor was shot in Haines Alaska on a trip in spring 2010. Dane skied the face above and then into this cliff to a perfect 360. Shot with a Canon 1dMKIV and a Canon 300mm f2.8 L IS.

This shot of Charley was taken on the Pemberton ice cap last winter and ran in the recent Feb 2011 issue of Freeskier magazine alongside a portrait of mine for an interview with Charley.
I’ve posted a fair bit of content from my trip to Japan last year with Salomon but there is still more ! It was a great trip. SBC Skier here in Canada just ran an article about our trip with a short piece about contrast that I also wrote. From a shooting point of view, [...]
Earlier in the week I posted about the beginning of my trip to Revelstoke, BC, with the guys from Poorboyz Productions. When we left Whistler we didn’t have much of a plan and currently we are still here in Revvy. Back home in Whistler the freezing level has been very high but it’s remained cold [...]
I was recently featured in a ski magazine in the Czech Republic. The article features shots of Dane Tudor from our trip to Japan, Tim Durtchi and Pep Fujas from a trip to Alaska and Leigh Powis from Whistler. I’ve never been to the Czech Republic myself so this is pretty cool!
Plans change daily when you do this job. Originally I was supposed to be heading to Finland tomorrow with Tyler Hamlet and Cody Carter from Poorboyz Productions but for a number of reasons I decided I could not take the trip as there was not enough interest from potential clients. It sucks when it comes [...]
Thanks for the guesses on the setup for this shot. Some of you were pretty close. Zach G was actually the closest with his first guess. With the spread of light needed ,and the gel, a single speedlight could not do a good job of being the pink light with a Ranger at the back. [...]
This shot of Riley was from a spring season step-up session in the Whistler backcountry with Poorboyz. One of those days that is just so hot you can’t really even fathom how you are working in the snow. I shot it with my Canon 1dMKIV and a Canon 300mm f2.8 L IS. Spring light is [...]
In a few days time I’ll post a lighting diagram for a few shots that were taken on this feature in Edmonton. In the meantime, let’s hear your best guesses as to what equipment I used and where to get this photo of Mike Henitiuk. If you don’t know what gear I have ,take a [...]
Seeings as I have this brand new site I’m going to keep posting these general updates on what I’ve been working on recently. Typically for me I spend a little time at the beginning of the season doing urban photos with people and this year was no different. Poorboyz Productions purchased a winch system which [...]
Now that I have split my blog into essentially two parts, this one and the more general photography one, I want to use this one to update people a little more on my everyday shooting. In the last 7 days Whistler Blackcomb has received something in the region of 215cm of snow. The skiing here [...]
