Tag / After Dark

In previous years around this time i’ve taken a look back over the year and put together a number of images to sum up what i’ve been doing over those 365 days. I’ve decided to skip that style of post this year as my recently released new website does a pretty good job at showing some of the highlights of the year.

Saying that, i thought it would be nice to show you something as we move into the new year. During the last 12 months i’ve been lucky enough to spend a whole bunch of time with Level 1 productions putting in some serious mileage on the way. With their recent movie now released a photo slideshow of mine came as a bonus feature on the DVD and also the Itunes download. I haven’t put the slideshow online myself until now so i hope you enjoy a few of my shots i’ve compiled along the way.

With one pre season trip to Sweden already in the bag, i look forward to this next one. I’m off to Switzerland tomorrow so if another blog post doesn’t make it before new year, have a great new year and i’ll see you soon out on the snow.

Two weeks ago i made it over to Denver for the Level 1 world premiere. Since then i’ve experienced a whirlwind of a time with a visit to New York and a friends wedding back here in the UK.

Of course throughout all that time there are plenty of images which i’m making my way through. Those wanting to check out shots from the actual premiere can see my gallery over at ESPN but for now i’m going to concentrate on shots from around Denver. Hiring bikes, cruising around the streets and grabbing a few shots along the way.

I didn’t try it to find out (more…)

With the summer now in full swing its the time of year when the ski industry drop snippets of the seasons hard work building up the excitement and anticipation for this Autumns ski movie releases.
 
For regular readers of this blog you’ll know that this past season I was lucky enough to work alongside two of the big players in the movie world with time spent shooting Level 1 Productions and Field Productions. Working with directors Josh Berman and Filip Christenson I was lucky enough to experience filming trips throughout Japan and America making great friends along the way.
 
With me just coming out of a fortnight in the sun its great to be transported back into winter with the following trailers now out for everyone to see. Let the trailers load, flick on the full screen and enjoy what’s about to come this autumn.

My japanese adventure with Level 1 Productions has just come to an end after two weeks of shooting in Hokkaido, the north island of Japan with a great crew consisting of Tanner Rainville, Wiley Miller, Parker White, Jimbo Morgan, Josh Berman and Tatsuya Tayagaki. During the trip we experienced such a variation in snow conditions making decision making tricky at times deciding what zones to head to. Luckily the snow gods were on hand to dump such a large amount of snow giving us at least a few days of deep Japanese Pow everyone comes to expect.

In comes the snow

Lots of great stories will emerge from this trip over the coming months and i can’t wait to see the footage compiled for this years movie.

We finished up the trip last night in Sapporo with a trip to a Korean BBQ. The guys have all boarded planes back to the States today as i’ve headed back to Niseko for a couple of days of sorting images, catching up on emails and maybe even treating my clothes to a laundry cycle.

I’m one week into a 2 week filming mission with Level 1 productions over in Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan. I’ve been dying to get back over to Japan since i used to live here and i leaped at this opportunity to get out here shooting in the backcountry.

The days are long searching for the best quality fresh snow as we drive around in our little white van on the hunt for some fresh Japan powder.

I’ll bring about a bigger update a little further down the week but until then here’s a sneak preview of the trip.
