HCSC Snowboard Photography Workshop

Press Release

High Cascade Snowboard Camp, in partnership with international award-winning photographer Trevor Graves, TransWorld Media and the Brooks Institute of Photography, will welcome aspiring photographers to Mt. Hood, Oregon for their second Snowboarding Photo Workshop.

Dates will be July 30th - August 4th, 2003. The workshop is designed for up-and-coming photographers, team managers or anyone who just wants to improve their snowboard photography. Participants will be taught by renowned industry photographers Trevor Graves, Chris Owen, Embry Rucker and Kevin Zacher, as well as assistants from the esteemed Brooks Institute of Photography.

During the many hours spent shooting on snow, participants will focus on advancing their technical and creative skills by shooting many of the professional boarders who ride High Cascade's summertime facilities. Film will be processed on a daily basis and returned in time for evening critique sessions. Classroom sessions will cover the wide range of skills required by anyone aiming for the top ranks of snowboard photography.

A TransWorld SNOWboarding editor will appear as a guest at the workshop and will begin selecting student photos for a 4-6 page editorial to appear in the magazine next season. This section will be reserved for shots taken exclusively by students at the workshop.

The price for the workshop, which runs from the afternoon of July 30th through August 4th, is $1,295. The price covers all accommodation, meals, lift tickets, instruction, snowboard professionals and film processing. Students provide their own film and photo equipment.
