Keelan Clermont has been skiing since he was two years old and before that he香蕉视频直播檇 go up in the backpacks of his ski patroller parents.
In his 23 years on the slopes, Clermont has had very few photos taken of him in his favourite place 香蕉视频直播 that is until he started shredding with his good friend Parker Schnyder.
香蕉视频直播淚t feels awesome finally being able to see the moment captured and keep some good memories from skiing,香蕉视频直播 Clermont said.
Schnyder has been snapping photos since 2019 and Clermont is one of his first human subjects.
To start out, Schnyder picked up a Nikon D500 camera and some cheap lenses. Then he and his brother hit the road and drove south along the Pacific Coast. It was there that Schnyder fell in love with photography.
香蕉视频直播淚 instantly knew it was something I wanted to pursue so I sold all my lenses and bought the best ones I could afford,香蕉视频直播 he said.
His next trips took him to Jasper, Banff, Canmore and his favourite of all 香蕉视频直播 Bella Coola.
香蕉视频直播淭he trip to Bella Coola was probably the best 24-36 hour period of my life,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淚 was all alone on a river waiting. After almost an hour I was about to change locations when I looked up and saw a grizzly cub staring at me across the river with her two siblings and her mom behind her.香蕉视频直播
Schnyder spent the next two hours snapping photos of the bear cubs fishing, wrestling and resting just 20 feet away from him.
With the COVID-19 pandemic putting faraway trips on hold, Schnyder needed to look through the viewfinder to capture his passion differently.
At the beginning of the 2021-22 ski season, Schnyder and Clermont got to talking. Big White had just received a huge dump of powder and the duo decided to get some shots of Clermont in action.
香蕉视频直播淎t the end of the day, I got back home, uploaded the photos and was so surprised. It was my first time and we just winged it, but quite a few of the photos turned out really well,香蕉视频直播 Schnyder said.
Shooting sports photography 香蕉视频直播 especially when that sport is on a snowy mountain 香蕉视频直播 is a huge change from the wildlife photography Schnyder is used to.
香蕉视频直播淎bsolutely one of the biggest challenges is dealing with snow since none of my gear is waterproof. If I need to adjust my position I have to pop my skis off and walk through waist-deep snow while holding my camera above my head.香蕉视频直播
But the effort is well worth it. Every week, Schnyder and Clermont hit the slopes and search out Big White香蕉视频直播檚 best untouched powder stashes.
