ELLO

Unity Productions - Rob Embling + Andy Collin
UNITY Productions have been creating short edits from events across Europe all year and after just one season are already starting to make a big name for themselves. Created by freeskiers Rob Embling & Andy Collin they are trying to push British freeskiing in a new direction with a much more rider focussed approach.


PALLY LEARMOND PHOTOGRAPHY

Pally Learmond – Ski Action Photographer
Pally turned his attentions to photography seriously about 4-5 years ago after having a big ski crash which freaked him out! He then took refuge behind his camera and since then has been living in Europe and shooting anywhere else in the world that has mountains and a freeskiing and snowboarding community. He also has a keen eye for landscape photography and anywhere there is good snow and beautiful light. So when combined with the well know skiers he works with being placed in the scene, he can make a spectacular composition.


CAMILLA STODDART PHOTOGRAPHY

Camilla Stoddart – Ski Action Photographer
Capturing moments has always been a passion for Camilla. You will usually find her behind the camera in places like New Zealand's Wanaka and Switzerland's Verbier. She takes great joy in photographing the environment that professional skier's just so happen to be involved in. This year she has had several images published in reputable magazines and has been hailed as being an easy and relaxed ski photographer to hang out with on the mountain. With Camera in hand and skis on her feet, she has her vocation in life!


YVES GARNEAU PHOTOGRAPHY

Yves Garneau – Ski Action Photographer
A Canadian born photographer based in the Swiss Alps, Yves has made a living doing what he's dreamed about ever since his long snowy drive from Ontario to British Columbia in January of '96. Two amazing winters on the west coast transformed him from a recreational skier to a die-hard mountain addict. At the end of '97, he packed his bags and headed to Europe for a taste of the Swiss Alps, chocolate and cheese. He now calls the Val de Bagnes home and lives with his wife and son in a little village nestled at the bottom of Verbier resort. Yves spends his winters shooting in some of the best locations in the world for more than a dozen different ski publications. He specializes in back country ski photography bringing some of the most pristine points of view straight to your coffee table at home. In the summer he focuses on event and studio photography.
