For the past eight years, High Cascade Snowboard Camp (HCSC) and Nemo Design’s Trevor Graves have joined forces to host an all-inclusive snowboard photography workshop. This year, 24 shooters from North America gathered at Mt. Hood to learn the specifics of becoming a working snowboard photographer. Trevor Graves and the Studio Nemo Crew joined Tim Zimmerman, Andy Wright, and Christy Chaloux to instruct the workshop. Each morning was spent in the classroom, learning a variety of topics such as on-hill exposure, flash techniques, digital workflow, and the all-important business skills. In the afternoon, students shot action at HCSC’s private on-hill snowboard facility. Each evening, shots were edited and critiqued; the days wrapped up with an instructor slideshow and student Q & A session.
Jeremy Jones, Seth Huot, and Laura Hadar participated in the workshop, and it was also their signature session at HCSC. Other star action came from Barrett Christy, Trevor Jacobs, The Shreducation Crew, as well as the newest couple from the show The Bachelorette—pro snowboarder Jesse Csincsak (Jsak) and Deanna Pappas.
The Photo Session closed with a big night of celebration. All of the campers and staff from HCSC’s session 5 packed into a makeshift theater where the student’s work was presented followed up by the world premiere of the Mack Dawg movie Double Decade.

Hey TWS,
Thanks for posting about the workshop. We had our best class ever and I’d like to thank the students for bringing so much enthusiasm and talent.
Just a quick note: Jesse Csincsak did not win the Bachelor. He was on a show called the Bachelorette.

Agreed Jsak had his agent line him up with ABC what a kook. He claims Pro Status he tricked that chick

I was also at this workshop and damn I loved it. I’m thinking about doing it again because the instructors are such awesome photographers, there’s still plenty to learn, Also you can’t pass up Hood in summer.
