About the shot: If you ever want to frustrate<br />
yourself, try shooting skiing at night with a<br />
flash. We had an idea of what may happen if<br />
everything went in our favour, but that's the<br />
beauty of photography, it usually doesn't. So,<br />
when this image showed up on the back of the<br />
camera at the end of a week-long ski trip, we<br />
called it a night. Because sometimes a little bit<br />
of dumb luck is all you need. The image is fairly<br />
simple when it's broken down. A dark room,<br />
single flash and a white bounce sheet are the<br />
basic concepts here. Tracking the subject though<br />
the dark was a little tricky, but thank god for<br />
modeling lights. But what makes it special to me<br />
is the fact that Corey was wearing his daylight<br />
lenses in the middle of the night. The coloured<br />
lenses and the reflection of the snow in them is<br />
the real treat of the image.<br />
