Photoshoots are something that I love within kiteboarding, there are so many variables to judge in order to get a good shot that it can be more complex than you might think, weather it is the wind changing strength, direction, the water, waves, light, back drop etc... it is a mastery of all of these elements, from forecasting through to timing, that make a good action sports photographer. Over the years I have had good times with different photographers trying to realise an image or create something cool that we had never seen before and more often that not it was the 15m big light wind kites that get the job done. There is something about it that fuels the motivation for the sport and to work with motivated people is a bonus... despite the wind being terrible, we got some shots!!!
