Scott Markewitz Photography Workshop
Over the weekend, I participated at Scott Markewitz’s Photography Workshop at Snowbird, UT. Check out Scott’s website here.
At first glance, ski photography seems pretty simple. But we really put a lot into getting each shot. Sometimes I get calls from photographers at 4am during the winter to get up Little Cottonwood Canyon before the road closes so we can have first dibs on the fresh powder. As athletes, we have to hike long distances through very deep snow to get the shots we do. It’s a lot of work! But it obviously has its perks 🙂
I am so fortunate to be able to work with talented photographers like Scott Markewitz. Photography, even ski photography, is an art form. Each artist has his or her own creative vision. As athletes and models, we are a crucial part of this collaborative creative process. I had a great time helping Scott and his students get the shots they wanted.
Here are some shots I took from the day:
Monoskier in the parking lot. I love the dolphin graphics on his monoski.
Forrest Shearer showing how it’s done
Markewitz, explaining how to set up the shot.
Jenn Berg airing it out.
Forrest in Mineral Basin airing off the cornice.
