The last two issues of SBC Skier Magazine from Canada have hit the newsstands and I have a few more photos I’m pretty stoked on that made it into the magazine as well as three shots in their first ever Photo Issue as well.

As long as I’ve been working with Level 1 Productions it’s one of the covers that have eluded me through the years. We have been working together since near the start of my career so finally getting it now is something I’m pretty excited about. My shot of Alex Bellemarre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is sharing the cover of the After Dark DVD with photographer Chris O’Connell’s shot of Tanner Rainville at Great Canadian Heli in Golden, BC, Canada.
This type of feature has been on my to do list for at least 5 years now. The urban death gap has eluded me now for quite some time but this past season with a really fast winch that Level 1 purchased we were able to do it. I had the shots on Alex’s first try, but standing up a 50 foot rodeo 5 to flat was no easy task. Fortunately a few tries after Alex said he didn’t think it was possible, the kid powered through and stomped one of the more ridiculous things I’ve ever shot.

I get a lot of photo requests for some uses that are far from normal but this is definitely a new one. I sold a few shots to Line Skis last season with a one-year unlimited license. It’s when you have those licenses out on your photos is where you see some different types of usages. Different, but pretty cool. I’ve never had a photo on an air freshener! This shot of Will Wesson was taken last winter with Level 1 Productions in my backyard of Salt Lake City, Utah. It’s in the most played urban skiing location, probably in the world. I somehow manage to get a shot every year from the Rail Gardens (Olympus Hills Park) due mainly to skiers getting creative and looking for a new spin on the same structures in the park.
Do you have a photo on an air freshener? You should!

I’ve been wanting to do some time lapses lately but it always seems that I have my D300 (second camera body) being used as a second remote angle being triggered by Pocket Wizards. I recently just got a GoPro HD and a pile of mounts so suddenly I have a camera to run time lapses when I have my camera bag emptied out throughout the mountain! I stuck the GoPro HD with a handlebar mount in the snow, turned it on, walked away. Pretty mellow. I was pretty suprised how well it came out. I had to do some post work on the photos like I normally would, cropped and put together in Quicktime Pro.
This jump session with Level 1 Productions in Sun Valley, ID went down pretty well and we got a lot of shots. Now we are just waiting for round 2 to shoot out of the helicopter!
I’ll hopefully have time to do this the rest of the spring through all the terrain park shoots.

I’m back on the road again for a few weeks so it may be quiet on the front here. Follow me on Twitter to hear random entertaining antics from urban ski trips.

I just got some pdf’s of the recent shots I’ve had over in Powder Magazine this season so I thought I’d share.
September 2010 Powder Magazine Shooting Gallery – Tyler Barnes sliding a quad kinked C-rail in Ogden, Utah
Nikon D3,Tamron 28-75 f2.8 LD XR Di SP lens, Elinchrom Ranger RX AS Speed, Alien Bees 800, 400, Nikon SB80 DX’s, Pocket Wizard Plus 2 and MultiMaxTranscievers

The thing I love the most about this shot is how clean it came out at ISO 1600!
October 2010 Powder Magazine Shooting Gallery – Alexis Godbout doing his best to get out of church in Helena, MT
Nikon D3, Nikon AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D ED lens, Elinchrom Ranger RX AS Speed, Alien Bees 800, 400, Nikon SB80 DX’s, Pocket Wizard Plus 2 and MultiMaxTranscievers

This is probably my most favorite thing ever written in a ski magazine. I’m pretty stoked my photo fit it rather perfectly. Check it out if you get a chance.

This was the 2nd of 3 ads for a Scott campaign featuring their top freeskier, Tom Wallisch (check out the first ad here). I worked with Tom a lot this season specifically for this campaign and I’m pretty stoked on the shots and that it was based on what we both wanted to shoot as opposed to being confined to a creative breif. It was a go out, get some epic shots and we will work with it in the end. It allowed us to produce the best shots we could, which is something I’m stoked on. You can’t really ask for much more but a blank canvas.
This shot in particular was the primary reason I came out to Minnesota for that trip with Level 1 Produtions. I knew that feature would produce something I’d be stoked on and it was something I could really spend time with the lighting on. It was a miserably cold night for the whole crew of myself, Kyle Decker (Filmer for Level 1), Tom Wallisch, Ahmet Dadali and Liam Downey and we had some challenges with some equipment and being extremely visable from a major road but everyone got their tricks, their shots and it was one extremely productive day/night.
