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.

Ice, ice, baby! Despite its name, Greenland is not even close to being green, especially in the winter when the country is largely covered in ice. In fact, 80% of its landmass is covered by the world’s second-largest ice sheet. Greenland is the place to go to photograph ice. There is not a day go by that you won’t encounter it in one of its forms, and the sheer scale of it is something you have to see to believe.
