This shot is from my first experience in the backcountry which involved waking up while it was still dark out, hanging on for dear life on the back of a snowmobile, and gaining an appreciation for the work that goes into getting these shots. Photo: Laura Austin
These photos are a sample of images I collected during my years as online editor of Snowboarder. During my time at the magazine, I was able to travel the globe documenting the people, places, and action in the snowboard world. I wouldn’t have exactly considered myself a “photographer” at the time, since photography was only a small part of my job… but it was these years behind a lens that influenced me to take my camera and run with it.
