Northface Heli shoot / Camping

New Zealand heli pick ups and Cow Pats go hand in hand.

This year I was given the opportunity to work with The NorthFace on a heli trip unlike any I have been on. Last year we heli'd up to Clarks Glacier to shoot their 2009 advertising, this year the concept was to heli into the mountains, ski and then camp out in the snow for the night.

Dispite having no new snow, and attrocious weather conditions forecast we had two guides that were keen to take us, and photos that needed to be shot. We manged to score a glorious blue bird day and the boys dropped a whole bunch of cliffs to icy landings.

What unfolded during the night was wild. Whilst bad weather was forecast it wasn't meant to hit until about mid day, it came in early and we were buffeted with gale force winds all night. I can't give away too much of the story but here's a few snap shots to give you an idea. Expect to see editorial and advertising for this trip around the show next year.

The terrain we had on hand. Amazing.

The Wes cam turned up in the arvo and was filming us for promotional purposes. This camera has been used for films like Lord Of The Rings etc.

Stephen Winnacott, the Marketing Manager gets some.

I hiked above our campsite to shoot sunset and got the token self portrait.

Speights Summit after an epic day, all grins.

After holding on all night this was the first photo snapped in the morning. Guidelines had snapped, pegs went flying and the only thing holding our tents down was our bodies.

When this is coming at you from one direction, and gale force winds from the other its time to move.

We manged to ride out to lower altitude and get a chopper out.

BMX Inspiration

So I'm finding myself looking for some inspiration outside of the snow industry. BMX as a sport never ceases to amaze me. I stumbled accross these two edits on TheComeUp. So many hammers.

Imagery

I thought it was worth a little update of some of my recent imagery. Although my video/production work seems to be taking over my life, I am still shooting photos. I have a bunch of very exciting photo gigs this year which you will hear/see about later on. For now here's some recent published work.

Here is the first of four videos we will be bringing you from the Burton Open. I will be dropping one edit a day to keep you super up to date. We managed to play this episode before the world premiere of Burtons new movie 'B' last night. If the weather comes through we are going to see some sick riding!

Atomic Shoot

Olah! Time to kick this piece of internet back into action. I am now back at home base in Wanaka and am coming to the end of the Atomic photo shoot I previously posted about. We ended up spending 5 days in Canterbury and scored the goods at a few of the clubbies, then headed back to Wanaka to shoot Park and piste at Snow Park and Cardrona. Its been an epic shoot so far, our last day is wrapping up tomorow and the imagery will be coming out in the years to come. I can't post too much from our trip, but here's a few sneak peaks.

Dan Carr was the other photographer on the trip, he's over from Whistler for a month. Its been great bouncing ideas off another profesional.

The Broken River goods lift now takes people! It is one of the craziest experiences just getting to the base of the resort. Go get some.

Anchor Man holds down the enterainment inbetween skiing.

We somehow ended up in a cave. Chris Benchetler has a looksy.

We had some incredibly windy days on the trips, but still managed to score some pockets.

Outies.

A post to let you all know that there may be an absence of blogging for atleast a week. I'm just heading out the door for an 8 day photoshoot with the Atomic Ski team in Canterbury, I will then be back for the Burton Open. Expect big updates shortly. If anyone needs to get in touch, get at me on my phone.
