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.

Read MoreNike Hood to Coast Event Capture
I recently covered the 2015 Hood to Coast event, in which Nike participated in. I worked with Conscious Minds, a great team who I’ve worked with in the past several times. The Hood to Coast event is a 24-hour long relay race held every year in Oregon, usually on the Friday and Saturday prior to the Labor Day weekend. It is among the biggest and longest relay races in the world. For walkers and runners, participating in the Hood to Coast event is an item on their bucket list.
Together with a small team in a van, we followed the Nike team’s journey through the race. We slept in Vans, and got hit straight on with a hurricane. Here are some wonderful shots from the said event.
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.

The people of Padang
I was up in Northern Sumarta, Indonesia for a few months this year. It was an amazing experience. I had a job shooting the guests surfing, on a Australian boat for 2 weeks. Before setting a sail I posted up in this tiny Muslim town, so naturally I walked around with my camera. The kids were thrilled to see me, and were super into me taking there picture. In fact they couldn't get enough. Before long we were singing songs and counting in English and Indonesian. It was a great day.
