Big Up Productions - Dosage V

 

In the world of adventure sports cinema, one word has become synonymous with rock climbing – Dosage.

Since 2000, Big Up Productions has produced the Dosage series, bringing the finest action in rock climbing to DVD players all over the world. The newest release, Dosage V is no exception. The highlight of the new release is the story behind Beth Rodden’s historic ascent of Meltdown (5.14c) in Yosemite National Park.

As Josh Lowell filmed the video content, I was there to capture the still images of Beth, one of which appears on the packaging for the DVD. The entire Dosage series is available to purchase on the Big Up site.

Heavenly Mountain Resort - Winter 2008

It’s that time of the year again. As winter marketing campaigns roll out, I get to show the world what I did last year. Among the highlights of the winter were the two heli-shoots my team coordinated for Heavenly.

Shooting from a helicopter requires quite a production: A pilot and an assistant with me in the air, athlete coordinator, ski patrol, snowmobile driver and second assistant on the ground, one expert skier, two feet of freshly fallen snow, crisp morning air and a perfect blue sky. The result – a storybook image of a lone skier without a care in the world

Look for this ad to run in issues of SKI and Skiing throughout the winter.

Check back soon to see my work in new campaigns for Ski Lake Tahoe and Sierra-At-Tahoe.

Title Nine - Fall 2008

 

Every photographer keeps a mental list of locations they want to shoot when the right project comes around. When the staff at Title Nine came to me with ideas for the current catalog, I knew exactly where we should go.

A friend in Tahoe has built a great home climbing wall with a view. The only problem is, because the window faces north, the golden morning light never shines directly inside. Studio lighting wasn't an option because it would create an entirely different look. So, with the help of an assistant and my new Nikon D700 (which allows for an amazing range of exposure) we improvised. Armed with a reflector and a walkie talkie, my assistant headed outside to bounce the sunlight through the window, bringing sunrise to the climbing wall. Problem solved.

We got there early, made some great pictures, then had time for an afternoon climbing session.
