Abby Cooper
|
A lover of all things outdoors, Abby Cooper is a splitboarder, adventurer, year-round snow seeker, photographer, and writer. She’s living life one adventure to the next with her dog by her side. Her career as a photographer in the outdoor industry often takes her across the globe and out of her current snowglobe of a home in Whistler BC. Whitefish is near and dear to her heart as she spent 4 years here before venturing back to her Canadian roots. Abby is supported both in front and behind the camera by Arc’teryx, Karakoram, Smith Optics, and G3gear.
Abby's favorites: F-stop Tilopa Pack, Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 and a clean google wipe! Recommended: A bag that keeps your gear dry, warm gloves or mitts you can shoot with (yes I shoot in mitts because my hands freeze! although it is an art!), extra battery, 16 or 32GB card, the camera gear you want to master! Abby will be coming at us from an editorial perspective and will be teaching How to Tell the Story of a Day instead of focusing on just getting action shots. Her perspecitive on lifestyle action sports photography adds to her action portfolio, and she is going to teach you how to do this, too. |

You can fly into Glacier International Airport (FCA) or drive. We have discount codes for you if you want to stay on the mountain. If you'd like to stay in town, we recommend VRBO or any of the hotels in town. There is a free bus that runs from downtown to the ski resort multiple times per day, and there is plenty of parking at Whitefish Mountain Resort.
What can I bring into the event?
Any camera gear that you would like to master. We do not supply camera gear. Also bring a backpack with plenty of warm layers and extra gloves. We recommend wearing thick baselayers since you will be standing and photographing more than skiing. This event is on-snow, so you need skis or snowboard and intermediate skills with them.

Do I need to be an advanced photographer?
You may be any level you'd like. We do want you to be familar with the camera you are using so we can focus more on action sports techniques and less on camera basics. If you want to pursue a career in this and are seeking advanced techniques, you will also find value in the workshop. Come as you are. Let's take photos.
