Ski Verbier

Late March saw my move for 8 days to Switzerland to provide images for one of the high-end chalet and skiing providers; Ski Verbier.  I hadn’t been to Verbier before, but I will certainly be going back – what a stunning location; and great snow to boot.

The company already have a strong website and strong web present, but they wanted some specific images to complement this – not least a “feel” for the area, and some contextual images.

This is the sort of job that I really enjoy – some use of “off-camera” lighting, and other images using most techniques and a broad spectrum of experience.

Landscape images are tricky in the snow.  It is easy to get “blue” shades as cameras are easily tricked in such difficult lighting scenarios.  I was pleased to test my techniques as I am off to the Arctic for a month in the summer – so lots of snow and ice.

Usual trick would be to shoot at “Cloudy” White Balance, but I still prefer the freedom of shooting all images RAW and playing with the colour later – it’s all about the art, innit.
