Photography tips for REI - Improve your Mountainbike Photography Skills

I was honored recently when REI contacted me about writing a series of tutorials for their members on how they could improve their photography skills. Over the past few months, I've covered three other topics so far (see the full list below if you'd like to see the previous tutorials). This week, a new tutorial went online about how you can take better Mountain Biking photos.

Check out the full article HERE on REI's blog.

And here's the links to the previous posts. Happy shooting!

Behind the Scenes - Rainwear photoshoot and creating fake rain

Last week we had a large commercial shoot outside Seattle, Wa in the foothills of the North Cascades. The shoot was for a large outerwear company's rainwear line. Usually, one thinks it's always grey and rainy in the Pacific Northwest… and usually it is. But when you're shoot requires that ABSOLUTELY MUST BE RAIN, you bring along backups in case mother nature doesn't cooperate.

Below are a handful of behind the scenes images from the shoot to give you a little idea of what goes into faking conditions. Will post the resulting shots as soon as possible.
