The sun produces shadows (of course), which creates depth and contrast, and there is the normal rule of shooting with your back to the sun thus lighting up your subject. However, there is another trick and this is the real kicker!
It’s all about telling the story and providing the viewer with a window to what you are seeing. By including more landscape in your ski and snowboard photography you can portray the epicness and grandeur of the action in all its glory. Getting better at landscape photography or to be more precise, looking at the landscape in terms of composition, line and form is going to give your ski and snowboard photography the x-factor.
Growing as a photographer can mean learning alternative skills that have a greater impact on your original interest. I have found portrait photography to not only be exciting and fun, but, the studio work involving creating my own lighting arrangements etc. have benefited my action photography on an unimaginable scale.
Vallerret Photography Gloves Co-founder Stine Lyng Jørgensen shares the story behind Vallerret Photography Gloves. "Photography is about making things happen. We hope you like our gloves. But more important, we hope you go out and do something with them."
For up and coming photographers and those who have just started, start with an Idea in your head and don’t question whether or not it will work out, just try and get it with the camera. The more you fail the closer you get to getting the perfect result so just go out and shoot as much as possible.
So you have figured out how your camera works. You’re creating a good composition, exposure is correct. By all means, you’re creating great photos, But, something is missing. INSPIRATION for that next level photo shoot.
