Erin Tanner Portrait Session on Snowboardermag.com.au

I have been working on a series of portraits for an upcoming editorial in Australian Snowboarder Magazine. The series is to document the real jobs of a bunch of up and coming snowboarders in Australia. These riders all work real jobs to fund their travel during the Northern hemisphere winter. It is a common misconception here that just because these kids grace the cover of magazines, they must be a fully paid professional rider. This editorial will show just how far these riders go for their love of snowboarding, and their dreams of one day getting paid to do what they love.
Snowboardermag.com.au has posted some behind the scenes images and video from the shoot here. I will post up some out-takes and image mock-ups as soon as I get clearance from the magazine picture editor.

Cricket

Continuing with my self-assigned mainstream sport photography, I went and shot a one-day cricket match between NSW and Tasmania in late November.
It was another first for me as I have never shot cricket before and had previously thought it would be right up there with Golf in terms of being a boring, long day behind the lens. I was wrong, and found it really enjoyable. I played cricket for a few years in my early teens, before skateboarding totally took over my life!
It was a history making game in that David Warner from NSW scored the highest runs ever in a sate match - 165 not out! His innings consisted of nine 6's and 19 4's, beating the previous record of Rick McCosker in the 1981-82 season. Warner has since been called up for the Australian 20-20 and One-day teams and caused a huge media buzz on scoring 89 runs of 43 balls in his debut match for Australia against South Africa.

Time for some updates

It's been quite a while since I've updated, not because I haven't been shooting, mainly it is because I have been trying to change over to a Wordpress blog. I have been using most of my spare time trying to implement a new theme and template and today have decided for the time being I am going to give up. It has been far too time consuming and I'm officially over it! I am not a web developer and struggle with even basic HTML, so for now, I'm sticking with this blog!


I have been shooting a lot since my last post so I will put up a selection of pictures I have been taking the last two months.

There are some exciting projects coming up and hopefully I will be able to get this updating happening a lot quicker than before!
