Said Jordan of the image his Nikon captured on this page, “The greatest shooting days are when I’ve combined the best of both worlds: making unforgettable turns and being able to capture them as well. This image speaks to the complexity of terrain that a skier navigates on an average run on the Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix. It was a thrill to ski safely in great conditions with my friend Kip— and get an image of it, too.” Jordan’s interpretive comments on some of his favourite photographers and their work follow.
For years now Grant has played witness to the amazing skiing that goes down each year at Mount Baker, delivering images that make us wonder why we weren't there along with him. With this relatively simple shot, he's captured why Baker doesn't suck.
A beautiful line - not much more to say.
When I first saw this image, all I could say was "Are you kidding me?" Erik's wizard light show combined with Kyler's incredible athletic creativity and talent makes for an unforgettable frame.
Blake's photography has had an influence on me over the years. His great understanding of light, snow and action has made him one of the best in the world. Images like this one continue to inspire.
Great ski photography has the ability to communicate just how good the feeling of skiing powder really is. Bryn's image puts me on the pillow, mid-storm, giggling and happy - reminding me why storm days are some of the best.
