As an action photographer, the most important part of my work is the environment. Choosing the right locations is one of the most important aspects when it comes to undertaking a good job.
This time we will talk about my vision of snowboarding…
I live in a village in the Pyrenees where every winter I wait patiently for the arrival of snow so I can go out and enjoy myself and work. I alternate my work as a ski rescuer at the Cerler ski resort and as an extreme action photographer.
I could say without fear of being wrong that during the winter season I am doing winter activities every day and this allows me to work in almost all the disciplines that are included in winter sports.
Focusing on snowboarding, I will tell you that having a high level of skiing (I don't do snowboarding) allows me to get close to the places where the real pros do their jump, trick or descent.
But I won't go on any longer and I'll leave you with some more of my images from these seasons, working on the action with my riders in my mountains...
See you in action.

Passionate about climbing, base jumping, parachuting and photography, the latter being where he tries to give a new vision to the development of the action in each of the activities that take place in nature.
One of Chechu Arribas' maxims is: "If you don't enjoy what you do, you're doing it wrong."
