Vallerret gloves is proud to add another like-minded being to our team, officially welcoming Martin Björkqvist to the Vallerret shooter squad.

Martin is a Swedish ripper and another dude that needs a continual fix from the slopes. You have to forgive the fact that he ski’s given his pictures make up for his insistence to strap two sticks instead of one to his feet (jokes), But seriously this guy sends it, both on skis and with the lens.

Full time photographer, full time study and full time killing it, we met Martin 4 years ago during the debated best season ever in Mayrhofen.

Such a character, he is always riding with a camera in hand, un-gloved and willing too loose a few fingers to frost bite in order to get the results. Thus, we are super stoked to cloth him in the best gloves so he can keep his fingers and still get his shots.

I can’t praise this guy enough without sounding like a douche so will just let his pictures do the talking.

Martin is on the finishing touches of his new website so will update when that has been launched. In the mean time you can find his content on instagram/martinbjorkqvist or facebook.com/martinbjorkqvistphotography

Congrats Martin and we are fully stoked to have you on the team.
Looking forwards to more epic bangers hitting our screens.

Arctic Surf Photography - How to shoot Arctic Surf

Arctic Surf Photography – How to get started with Hallvard Kolltveit

May 23, 2018

Arctic Surf Photography is both challenging and rewarding. The location alone is an experience, I mean it’s the Arctic full of dramatic landscapes, Iceberg factories and polar bears, even the sun hides for a few months.

It’s a place where big puffer jackets and multiple layers of merino become your uniform, jumping in the water let alone surfing, (or as a photographer floating and diving under the waves) seems ludicrous.
