Research Assignment

Scott Serfas

            The Photographer I have chosen for this assignment is Scott Serfas, his home town is Vancouver BC and his most recent project was the “ Art of Flight.” about 24 years ago the largest snowboard magazine Transworld Snowboarding, asked for him to be a photographer and to this day he still works for Transworld, he has tons of photos published and more than 50 covers with his name. The only Schooling Scott had on photography was just high school schooling, The first camera Scott ever shot with was an old Minolta that he found in his parents closet and now he uses a Canon EOS system and a Lecia M9. What interests me about Scott is that he enjoys shooting the sports and stuff that he does, he does snowboard but his favorite activity to do right now is surf. He is currently sponsored by; f-stop Gear and Endeavor Design INC, The three main activities he shoots are Surfing, Snowboarding, and skateboarding. Instagram is one of the main thing that inspires him to shoot more courageous and intimidating shots.   

Here are 7 Images shot by Scott Serfas.

I chose Scott as my photographer because he in from around town and he enjoys taking pictures of the activities I do, Snowboarding photos fascinate me a lot and to see a photographer be sponsored by such big Brands makes it that much cooler. Most of his photos are action shots, it inspires me because I’ve always dreamed of being a snowboarding photographer or a sports photographer.   

Here are 6 Of my own photos Inspired by Scott; 

   

I took this shot In Osoyoos BC, I thought it was very architectural and it caught my attention.

All these Photos were taken at Cypress Mountain, these photos were inspired by Scott Serfas’s Snowboarding pictures, I tried to capture the sunset & the sun in each picture to make the picture pop. Snowboarding Is a activity that I enjoy the most and taking pictures of something I love makes taking photos that much easier and more fun.
