Inspiration - Dan Medhurst

Dan Medhurst is a photographer for a magazine called Whitelines. He does have a broad client list, however it is his for work Whitelines that interests me as they are all based on the sport of snowboarding.

Shown below is an image from one of my favourite photo shoots of his.














This was taken with a Canon EOS 5D. He used a shutter speed of 1/200 and F-stop 5.6

I cant be sure of the lens that was used. However the settings mentioned above are well within the range of my equipment.
The only other things he used were 2 external strobe lights and possibly a red filter.

These are the types of images I aspire to take.

  1. Hi
    I like the research you have done of sports we now need to extend this into past photographers who have dealt with flash and movement.
    for each photographer you research you must collect around 10 photographs as a minimum and write about them. Also I'm looking for more writing about them a few hundred words ideally.
    Likes, dislikes,use of space, colour, form ,texture, shapes and perspective within the images.
    You have met more criteria though with this shoot but you need to write more, 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6,1.7, 1.8,
    This blog allows us to discuss ideas,2.1 and 2.4 and 2.6 with this method, feedback and self evaluations of how you feel you are doing.
