Equipment: Canon EOS 1DS MKIIAthlete: Johan Oloffsson
LOCATION_
I was on a photo shoot for Snowboarder
Magazine and Standard Films at Northern
Escape Heli in Terrace British Columbia.
INSPIRATION _
The legend Johan Oloffsson was back
shredding the big mountains after a long hiatus.
That was enough.
SHOT SETUP TIME_
Set up time was minimal, we photographed
any thing that we figured would work. It is very
easy when you have a helicopter and Johan at
your disposal.

LOCATION_
Jackson Hole, Wyoming is known for many things,
including its abundance of adventure athletes. As a
professional photographer, if you cant find an athletewilling to get some exposure in Jackson, you are doing
something wrong. This part of the Snake River is a well
known spot for adventure seekers, because of its close
proximity to Jackson Hole and the quality of rapids.
INSPIRATION _
There are many amazing things that a professional
kayaker can do in the water that would make a killer
photo, but for me a solid barrel roll is one of the best.
If you can capture it right, you can manage to get the
athlete, the kayak and the water all working in unison to
pull the move off.
SHOT SETUP TIME_
I spent most of the morning shooting from a large raft
that was following the kayakers. I asked this athlete to
perform a series of Barrel Rolls and this was the best
shot of the lot.

CARDRONA SPRING BOOTERCARDRONA, NEW ZEALAND TIMPIERCLOCATION_Skyline ridge run at Cardrona. Bare Barren ridge with gigantic80 foot tombstone table jump.
INSPIRATION _
The spring of 2007 saw an unusual amount of large
snowfalls that opened up endless opportunities at Cardrona.
John Melville from Development Snowparks approached
Will Jackways with the idea of building a large hip & table
for a shoot. This mammoth feature was the result! John
built the feature entirely by himself and it was incredible.
Although it took a few weeks to get the right weather and
crew together, the final shoot was amazing. Will worked his
way along the hip (hipping to the other side of the table that
you cant see ) and then eventually sent it straight over the
table. Full speed sled tow in, 80 foot of deck, and plenty of
hang time. One of the biggest back 3s I have ever seen.
SHOT SETUP TIME_
I walked around a variety of angles to shoot this jump as it
was so large, there were many variables to consider. Took
around half an hour to decide where to shoot, and then two
afternoon jump sessions over a few weeks.

THE PHOTOGRAPHERS
BLUE SUNDAY_
MATTHEW WATKINSON
I became interested in ski photography afterseeing the work of some friends, and realizingthat good shots were not just for the pros. After
losing my Canon G9 on a ski tour of Mt. Fuji lastyear, I decided to upgrade to a DSLR, which madeshooting a lot more interesting. As a recent arrival
to both skiing and photography, its fun to record
my progress and that of my friends in both areas.
