Recent Winter Publications

Garrett Grove — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:39:52 +0000

Time spent on the computer has been at an all time low in the last few months, trying to play some catch up. Below are some of the recent publications that have taken place in the last month. Next up a post of images and what I have been up to in the last month…

Scott Bennett, Graham Zimmerman and Joel Anderson during out trip to the Glacier Gorge featured on the Patagonia homepage.

Fall-Line Skiing | Greg Hill Feature

Garrett Grove — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:18:30 +0000

Well it seems like the couple of weeks spent with Two Mill Hill last winter continues to show up in print, understandably so, as what he accomplished would be hard to repeat unless they clone him and give that clone some performance enhancing drugs. What makes this feature unique is that the author is Greg himself, with a more personal narrative on what it was like to pursue such a lofty and challenging goal.

New Website Imagery

Garrett Grove — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 19:19:30 +0000

This has been on the boiler for about 8 months and I finally decided to tackle this project. After a stellar winter & summer exploring via bikes, skis, climbs and runs I had a back stock of imagery that I really wanted to throw on the site and I also wanted to add a new section, stories. Right now the stories cover a skiing magazine assignment to Holden Village in the Central Cascades, a bike trip exploring the newly revealed Retallack Lodge biking program in the Kootenays and a climbing trip to the spectacular Glacier Gorge with 10 great friends.

Overall I felt that my website was lacking a bit of story and that is what I love to cover, the whole experience. Action shots are fun but without the details, people and landscape they can be pretty lifeless. So enjoy the new bigger photos.

Skiing Magazine | Into the Mystic

Garrett Grove — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:10:33 +0000

The assignment writer Sakeus Bankson, skiers Forrest Coots, Drew Stoeklein, Jeff Campbell, Patrick Haggerty and myself embarked on to Holden Village just hit print this week in the December issue of Skiing. I couldn’t be happier with the layout and words by Sakeus. Huge thanks to Alex W and the rest of the crew at skiing for going out on a limb for this article and giving us so much freedom in words and photos.

December Powder Cover

Garrett Grove — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 23:27:47 +0000

When Powder Magazine’s photo editor Dave Reddick called to tell me that this photo of Jeff Campbell was gracing the cover of their December issue as a double page spread I was pretty much as giddy as a kid. Never would I have imagined that this would happen, let alone this early on in my pursuit of photography. It was only a few years ago that I decided to give a valiant go at this and pictures of past covers from Powder issues were hanging on my wall for inspiration and motivation. Bridget and I were driving north through San Clemente yesterday and we stopped by the Powder headquarters to chat and say hi to the folks there, it just so happened that the truck delivered the issue that very day hot off the press. Definitely a huge honor and a moment to cherish as it could be a while before this happens again.

Sidenote: Big thanks goes out to Jeff Campbell, without him this might not have happened. I had the concept in my head at the start of the season to mount my camera above a skiers head and trigger a remote flash to really give the viewer a perspective of what a face shot might be like. Jeff is one of the kindest, hardest working and dedicated skiers that I know…not to mention he is brilliant (getting his PhD in Engineering at UW). So when we collaborated on this idea while skiing at the Sorcerer Lodge this past January it was his ideas that helped me rig up the camera on a pack.

I have had a few emails regarding how I got this shot, so for those interested I mounted the Nikon D3s to Jeff’s backpack with three ski straps a tripod and on the left side of him I had an Alien Bee 800. It was all linked together via a set of Radiopoppers and I triggered my camera via a remote trigger while standing by the flash. We tried it twice and this was the second attempt.

Gore-Tex | Greg Hill

Garrett Grove — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 23:54:30 +0000

An ad with Gore-Tex featuring Greg Hill from our time spent on Mount Rainier just started hitting the print in Outside Magazine, Men’s Journal and online.

New PDF Feature on Website

Garrett Grove — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 17:01:57 +0000

Have a look at this, aphotofolio steps it up again with a direct link and option for clients to create a downloadable pdf. Why is it helpful? Quote taken from aphotofolio on this new feature:

“What’s so awesome about this tool is how it allows yourclients to make their own custom PDF of your work by selecting the images they want and the order they want them to appear in. This solves the two big problems with most portfolio PDF’s that make them universally useless:

They’re usually too big and take forever to download
They usually contain unwanted images

If you think about this from the clients prospective (which is all I really do) there’s no reason to download a pdf with a bunch of images you don’t like. If you’re sending it to your boss it will hurt your chances of hiring a photographer you want for a job. If you’re keeping it for reference it’s too unwieldy to keep around.”

The New Blog Format

Garrett Grove — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:33:13 +0000

Welcome back. Sorry for the run around with the tumblr site but I have been working on this new template for a little while now. It should be fairly straight forward and has a few new features that I really like. Number one images are big and front and center and I have the option to run multiple photos as a slideshow. Over on tumblr it was hard to keep track of my imagery, the metadata was lost and before I knew it my images were all over the place on sites I wouldn’t want my images on. I appreciated how easy it was to share imagery and posts but eventually things just got messy. Two I like the clean layout, the sidebar and how easy it is to find old posts and topics. Third it is heavily integrated with the Facebook page. Commenting, sharing and liking posts should be easier. So take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the new format and bookmark this blog again. Cheers, Garrett.
