Simon D'Artois in Mountain Life Magazine

Here are some photos from a shoot I did last March with the Giro half-pipe team in Tignes, France.   Simon won the X Games that year and redid his winning run, still drunk from the night before, so the cinematographer could get the shoot.  It was quite honestly flawless and he was really run.  So classic.   Simon is such a creative and humble dude. Happy to see him land some pages in this magazine.

My best friend Robin van Gyn and I went on an amazing European trip last February 2015. We spent weeks exploring the beautiful mountains of Italy, Austria, France, and Switzerland.  Robin is such a hard working athlete and is so knowledgeable in the back country.  Roxy licensed these images below and used them in everything, from catalogs to billboards in Disneyland.

New Billabong Lookbook Spreads

Last March 2015, I traveled to Mayhaufen, a small town in Austria, together with athletes Helen Schettini, Taylor Godber, and Wolle Nyvelt to shoot some missing pieces for Billabong's ad campaign and 2016 product lookbook. Mayhaufen is such a cool town, and it is home to Wolle Nyvelt. In fact, we stayed at his parents' hotel just a couple of blocks away from his home. We stayed there for three days.

The shoot was done very quickly, but sometimes that's just how you have to do it.  We were accompanied by Andrew Marrinier, the team manager, and Sophie, the art director at Billabong.  There were a great team to work with.  Here are some of the lookbook shots used by Billabong.

Chelsea Coughlin at Brandywine Falls

I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot Whistler local Chelsea Coughlin in RVCA swimwear. It was a fun and creative shoot, and we did it at the spectacular Brandywine Falls, close to my Whistler home. Brandywine Falls is such as beautiful sight, with the water dropping from a 70-metre cliff to the valley below. It is definitely a must-see for anyone on the way to or driving from Whistler. Here are some amazing shots from our quick shoot.
