Thursday we had the good privilege of shooting lifestyle images on the mountain for two separate shots, one in the morning and one in the afternoon…both during the “magic hours” of first and last light. First shot included another pre 5am call time and a snowcat ride of the mountain pre-dawn to get into position. The second shot had us travel over to Snowmass and onto a freshly groomed slope – a treat at 3pm. Overall big love for making authentically driven/motivated lifestyle shots with brands the get it…and the lifestyle twist is always a treat (and a physical break) to change it up amidst several days of action photography.
Friday morning was another early call – 5am again. Another pre-dawn snowcat ride to the biggest hit in the terrain park with some world-class Aspen local ahtletes. Oh ya…and then this neat-o helicopter whisked me into the air. More shin-cam footage will be coming at ya, along with some really unique still and motion shots. Weather again = perfect, and thanks to a kickass crew and talent, we were wrapped by 1030 am, just as the sun started getting high in the sky.
BOOYaH! And you might be wondering about the bike reference in the title of this post? Our producers were cool enough to get the whole crew – 14 of us in total on the Aspen ApresBike – a 14 seater bike/rolling bar complete with dance tunes, food and beverage to roll around the town and hit all the happy hours to celebrate our great campaign week. Few photos in the tabs above.
Hope you enjoyed following along with us. Big shoutout to Aspen/Snowmass for letting us share the adventure. Let us know what you loved, what you missed, if anything. And, as always, stay tuned for more.
À voir encore une fois les images et les sourires sur les visages “Je sais tout que vous avez eu beaucoup de fun à y être tous ensemble” Soleil + Belle équipe = Parfait shooting !!
Bravo de partager ça avec nous Steve

What an amazing assignment! Your photographs are an inspiring piece of work. I’m currently in school pursuing photojournalism. Every time I view the work you are doing, I wish I could just jump in there with you and experience the world!
Oh man – look at that light… Love it.
Chase…great info and photos as always! As an early-career editorial/commercial shooter, I appreciate the constant window into your inspiring work! And, if you dig the rolling Apres-bar, there’s yet another reason to come to Bend, Oregon…The Cycle Pub!! Check it out and give a shout when you get down here! http://goo.gl/8lsEs
