Nikon D3x. April 28th, 2010
I have been so impressed with my new cameras I’ve decided to invest in the top of the range D3x. This will give me an amazing 24.5 million pixels and an 70mb file, that is Medium Format quality in a 35mm camera. I’d better go and get it out of the box…Watch this space!
Mountain Warehouse Winter Catalogue 10/11. April 11th, 2010
Family in tow I arrived in Alpe d’Huez to shoot the Mountain Warehouse catalogue, the resort had had a huge season with a very deep snowpack which was still being topped up almost every night. We had some pretty good weather for the whole thing, just one afternoon of blizzards, which made a pleasant change. They wanted a mix of ski and snowboard shots with the emphasis on fun. So that’s what we did, went on the mountain and had a good time, it worked a treat. The Woodhall kids also did a fine job of modeling, and predictably where asking to get paid before they had finished the job. We stayed at the Hotel Chamois again and had great food upstairs, and a great time down stairs in the Underground bar. Many thanks to Gareth, Catharine and Adam for their huge support.
Profeet in Chamonix. April 7th, 2010
Straight off the back of Obergurgl I was in Chamonix to shoot some promotional images for Profeet. The brief was pretty elastic, some action, some emphasis on the boots, some lifestyle. So off we went up the hill for a couple of days to see what we could get. On the first day in Les Houches the weather was foggy and warm and we couldn’t shoot much, so on day two we went to Le Brevant, it was like the Bahamas it was so hot, the snow turned to crud by mid morning and they closed half the mountain by 2pm. So for the last day we went up Le Grand Montet where we managed to find some powder higher up and work the hell out of it, many thanks to Chris and Ben for all of the hiking!
