Chechu Arribas and his vision of Snowboarding
Author section by Chechu Arribas
As an action photographer, the most important part of my work is the environment. Choosing the locations well is one of the most decisive facets when it comes to undertaking a good job.
This time we will talk about my vision of snowboarding…
I live in a town in the Pyrenees where every winter I patiently wait for the arrival of snow to go out to enjoy and work; I alternate my work as a Lifeguard Pistero 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 be able 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 Snow) allows me to get close to the places where the true pros do their jump, trick or descent
But I don't get involved anymore and I leave you some more of my images from these seasons, working the action with my riders in my mountains….
See you in action.
