Learning By Doing with Snowboard Photographer Vernon Deck

Handplants and 720s

Picture 7 of 7

This is an image that I am proud of as it had never been done before and it has not been copied since. I had a plexiglas dome made and put a camera with fisheye lens inside it. Then Markus Keller did a hand plant on it while Arthur Longo did a Fs720 over him.

Editor’s Note: Vernon Deck has been around. The Kiwi has shot Formula1, motocross and of course, snowboarding. And The Inertia Mountain has been lucky enough to receive updates and tutorials as he travels the globe. Deck, a Volcom photographer who’s based in Switzerland, gives us a few gallery images, above, with behind-the-scenes insights as he travels with the likes of Pat Moore and Jeremy Jones. Plus he recently dropped another edition of his “Learning by Doing,” series, below. Number 9 features Bjorn Simons riding Stubai, Austria.
