Ski Photographer Profile

This is a video about a photographer. It’s 8 minutes long, but I think it’ll keep your attention. There’s a lot of beautiful video (and photo) work here, mostly in B&W. -What do you think?

    This film is stunning! I actually found it cool how it was black and white because the white snow contrasted well with the rest of the mountain. Also, the footage is really impressive! I love to CU snow snots with the powder flying up in the air.

    I think it was a really beautiful film that packed a lot into the short amount of time. Furthermore, many of the shots were stunning even without color.

  3. This was a very intriguing and interesting film. It was a pleasing video with very cool shots. I love seeing the different angles and perspectives the movie captured, and of course I enjoyed the drone aspect. Not only did I learn about the photographer, I learned some new techniques and ways to shoot drone video. I really enjoyed this film and I hope to see more like this.

    This documentary and how much it packed into less than 9 minutes was incredible. Knowing all the things that go into making one shot that looks simple was interesting. Knowing where the athlete is going to be at when and planning where to shoot. It is so much more than pulling out a camera and shooting.

  5. I really enjoyed this documentary. I loved how in the beginning there were really nice sound effects of wind and ice and snow. There were a wide variety of shots that were taken at really cool angles. I think it is amazing how he uses his colorblindness to his advantage in skiing photography. Overall I thought this was an awesome documentary that definitely felt less than 9 minutes.

  6. It’s definitely a really beautiful film. I love how they made the film black and white to reflect the photographer’s color blindness and show us how he views the world and his photography.

  7. I really liked the way that this movie was produced with black and white images and talking over it. i really enjoyed the slow mo video.

    I thought the profile of the photographer was very interesting, and I really enjoyed learning about someone who builds their living around the mountains. And I never knew how difficult obtaining Ski shots were just because of the skill of the skill and verticality of the mountain. And I liked how they used black and white to convey his color blindness, it really made the video feel unique.

  9. I think it could have stopped before they showed his daughter… it did drag on a bit. I loved the video because it had such sick shots of the mountains. The angles and variety of shots were super cool and it was kind of like a behind the scenes video when they filmed the photoshoot. The video was interesting because it is something unique that sparked my interest immediately.

  10. It was a little on the long side for me, but for what it’s worth it didn’t feel as long as 9 minutes. I didn’t even realize that it was shot in black and white u til the interview portion was displayed. Loved the cinematography 🙂

  11. This video was super dope. It was inspiring to see how this man followed his dreams regardless of unavoidable impediments. His unique quality as a photographer in that he is color blind gives him an edge in the industry. It was also informative to the complexity of filming action videos. It was cool that he showed his home and family as well because it created a real sense of connection and vulnerability.

    Very interesting profile of this photographer. Cool how color-blindness changes his perspective of his work. Made me think about what it’s like to profile this type of person—lots of footage of footage, sometimes mixing his shots with other shots. Very well-done video, kept my attention and made me feel connected to the story.

  13. I really enjoyed this documentary. It was really cool that a person his age was able to find his passion. He also used his color blindness to his advantage, looking at the dark and light shadows against the mountain. The other shocking thing was that his pictures were in color, even though he couldn’t see the colors.
