COVER OF ACT SNOWBOARDING

Just saw that I got the cover of the newest issue of Act Snowboarding, a cool French snowboard magazine.

The photo was shot in Vars, France on a Thirty Two demo tour we did throughout Europe last year. The frame was already printed and I had to do a trick within the frame. We ended up with a handplant on a tree with some branch crashing and light/snow explosion.

I loved the idea of shooting a cover with no photoshopping involved. It took quite some time to get the frame right, but it was really fun seeing how they tweaked a pretty set standard for how you're supposed to do a magazine cover.

Thanks Act, Remi and David!

Hey that's awesome! The cover looks fantastic. It's interesting how many small or niche snowboarding magazines/blogs/etc are out there. I just started snowboarding but love the snowboarding culture. Anyway, good luck!
