Shooting photos/videos for: Pretty much as long as i’ve been riding, but seriously for about 2 years.

What got you into photo/videography: Just always wanted a way of capturing what we enjoyed doing, I got a digital camera for christmas and then took it out everytime I went riding, things just went from there I guess.

What you try to do through photo/videography: If its a trip, I try to capture just how much fun it was, and I guess the same goes with the comp edits I sometimes do, anyone can point and shoot at a jam, or you can just watch the tv if you wanna see the biggest riding, but I try to capture the atmosphere, and the experience in general.

Favourite photo/videographer: Photo is tricky, I dont really pay much attention to names but Walters definitely out there, and Sam and Chris Hill Scott have some pretty hot stuff ;) . Videowise, I guess I look up to the guys like Joe Simon, Mike Mastroni and Craig Tull, each ones completely unique in there own way, those guys stand out for sure.

Favourite person to shoot with: Probably webby, its so surreal to get to a park and try to think of something almost impossible yet unique to do, and then watch him do it.

Shout outs: Everyone that keeps a cool head when I ask them ‘one more please..’ haha, Sam for all the effort towards making the site, Ben Green for the constant motivation, GT for buying my bike, and everyone that has taken the time to get a clip done, given me a space in the car, filmed a clip for me or helped me out in any way.

Your favourite photo/videos: In no particular order I would say, my ‘Day with Mark Webb’ video, that was two days before he was flying to america, and didnt feel like doing much, its crazy to see what a day of chilling means to him, the video titled ‘Breathe Me’, its only a short thing, but I wanted to kind of put the buzz and energy I get out of riding and filming into an edit, and capture the odd mis-hap too. And finally, the America edit, I had the time of my life on this trip, and it was so hard seperating myself from my bike and all the amazing spots long enough to get a worthwhile amount of footage, but im stoked with how it came out.
