New Published Work: Atlas Snowshoes Website

Just got a chance to look at the new Atlas Snowshoes website. It's currently chalk full of the images I shot for them over the past 2 years. Really happy to see all the images as a collection that showcases their entire product line. I'm attaching a screen capture of their site below, but check out the site for yourself if you have a chance. The images are on a rotating display, so you'll get to see a lot more imagery there.

I'm excited to shoot for them again this year for their 2013 product line. Should be fun.

Track and Field Shoot

Been working on some personal projects lately and here's a few behind the scenes shots from my most recent one.

A little glimpse into how the shots were made.

I'm in the process of redoing my portfolio right now, so stay tuned to see the finished images from this shoot and many others.

ps. a little tip of my hat to Brad Trent for the idea of showing these pics. I was inspired by his "Artificial Portraits" series that showcased the behind the scenes of his shots, but with all the post processing done to them. Check out his site... pretty cool!

Contour

I've been working with Contour (makers of kick ass POV cameras) for over a year now and have had the opportunity to shoot what seems like every sport under the sun for them.

With the release of their new camera, the Roam, they just updated their website with a bunch of my work. Always fun to see.

And there's plenty more on their site, but I figured that 4 images was enough for the blog.

Stevens Pass Bike Park

I've been working up at Stevens Pass Resort for the last few days. We've been shooting in their new bike park for next years marketing collateral.

It's been an awesome few days of shooting and the weather has been perfect. Big thanks to Kyle Thomas and Billy Lewis from Diamondback Bikes for putting in the hard work. And to Chris Rudolph and the entire Stevens Pass Park Crew for making the shoot happen.

Will be posting more photos and video as I can release them. Stay tuned.

Stevens Pass Ad

Just got done working with Stevens Pass Resort on one of their print ads for this winter. Here's the original image and the finished layout of the ad which will be running in the Ski Journal this winter.

Brooks Running: Commercial

A little while ago I posted about the Brooks Running shoot we did for the release of their Gore Tex shoes (the Ghost and the Adrenaline). Well, we finally got the go ahead to release the video from this project. Really happy with how it turned out.

This was my first foray into being a Director. I'm usually the one behind the camera (which I was on this day, shooting all the stills for the campaign). But it was a nice and refreshing change to get away from the camera for the video half of this project and instead focus on the direction of the video. Really stoked to have had such great and talented people helping with the production for the shoot. Big thanks to my homie Riley who did all the shooting and editing and Pat for his kick ass work assisting. Thanks guys.

Enjoy!

Brooks Running: Ad Campaign

Last month I got a phone call from the people at Brooks Running asking me to shoot a new ad campaign for their new Gore-Tex shoes, the Ghost and Adrenaline.

Stand Alone 4 Panel Accordian Brochure

While I was stoked at the prospect of shooting for Brooks, I was a bit nervous. Not nervous about shooting for Brooks, but because we were going to be shooting a waterproof shoe campaign and here it was late July... not the best time of year for crummy weather in Seattle. So, as the shoot came together, we had all the contingency plans available and ready to put into action (buckets of water, garden sprayers, hoses, water truck... you name it). However, as the morning of the shoot arrived, we couldn't have been more blessed as a huge thunderstorm descended on Seattle. It poured rain (with thunder and lightening) all morning long, providing us with great cloudy backgrounds, huge natural puddles and an all around wet look to the shoot.

The only bummer about the days shoot was that the torrential rain destroyed one of my Nikon D3 bodies. After hours out in the rain, the poor thing just couldn't hang any longer. Fortunately, it's occasions like this that have led me to always carry back up bodies on a shoot. After swapping the old with the new, we were able to continue shooting without missing a beat.

Print Ad for Magazine

I'm really happy with how the campaign turned out. Something a little different than your typical running shoot, with a little bit of humor interjected.

Outtake from the day's shoot

We also shot a short video for this campaign and we'll be posting that on the blog shortly.

A huge thanks to Brooks for choosing me to shoot this campaign for them.
