Snowboard photography - Freeriding and Freestyle in Alpine Terrain

Deep powder, tree runs, steep chutes, cliff drops and solitary peaks. The backcountry visited in freeriding offers many exciting scenes for a snowboarding photographer.

I love taking photos of good snowboarders. Being up in the mountains and close-up with the action, I can capture their flow and power. It's like surfing on snow. Being a good skier myself allows me to get to the right places and gives me the experience needed to anticipate what is about to happen.

Freestyle snowboarding in park and halfpipes, on rails and kickers also offers creative spaces. Wide-angle, telephoto, flash photography - Variation has been the key for unique snowboard photography in the past 20 years.

The images in this gallery were taken during events, magazine travel features, trips and fashion catalog shootings.
