No ski photographers from Seattle? Check out http://www.iancoble.com and http://www.chadcoleman.com
Vincent Skoglund from Sweden rocks:
http://www.vincentskoglund.com/
Gonzalo Manera from Madrid, Spain rocks too:

If your looking for kiteboarding imagery check out Lance Koudele’s work out of Hood River Oregon. http://www.LanceKoudele.com
Mike Yoshida and myself also shoot snowsports in the Seattle area as well.
Enough adding, can’t we start taking some of the wack photographers off?
Scott Pommier is actually a Canadian living in Vancouver.
His motorcycle photos are amazing.
No one on snow with camera in New England? I guess the normal subzero winter weather with another minus 10 for wind chill puts a crimp on easy shooting and gear functioning. (We still ski better than those western powder pansies!)
I was a bit upset you missed out so many skateboard photogs in your original list. It’s good to see a few listed now :-).
not sure why heather mcgrath is on the list. no sports on her website

If you’d like to check out who is making bigger moves in snowboarding photography, check the “exposure meter” that Transworld Business Magazine puts out…

Some that were list on this post don’t even shoot snowboarding adventure much or at all these days.
All good though…still pretty admirable photogs for their accomplishments.

Great List…. Thanks for sharing!!!
You forgot me! :)

Bryan Mitchell
I’m in Idaho as well.
Here’s a question (and a pet peeve of mine):
Why do photographers with domain names, i.e. myphotography.com, not use their domain names as their email address, i.e. mike@myphotography.com and instead use gmail, yahoo, hotmail, qwest, etc? You’ve got a flashy site and a domain name, but you fall short with the email address. Now a PE/AD has to remember your business name AND a different email address to get in touch with you.
Any PEs/ADs out there with any thoughts on this? Does it matter?
Rob,
Thanks for the CO linkage! Can’t wait to see who’s happening in old Boulderado.
This is an awesome list… we love that the first that are listed are from Jackson Hole – one of our favorite places on earth!
thanks for the link Rob. nice list.

I’d love to see a list posted like this, but of Retouchers. For some reason, it seems very hard to locate quality retouchers. Would love to see it listed with specialty too, like “Beauty”, “Assemblage”, etc.
if your taking recommendations , NYC’s Brian Gaberman, hands down one of the best skateboard photographers around, not on the list. The ny list is short and trite.
Uh… can i add myself to your mix?
I am a recent transplant. A Colombian photographer now living in Colorado.

Coffee, rainy morning and your Blog… perfect combination (at the moment, at least!)…
clo
I humbly throw my name into the mix, tintype athletes and more:
http://www.robertbenson.com
Glad to see that I made the list! I’m actually relocating to Anchorage, Alaska for awhile beginning this fall.
I just stumbled across your site, Rob, and I’ve enjoyed reading so far. Even added a link to it on my own blog.
Hey Rob – I’ve just been catching up on – and really enjoying – your blog after being overseas shooting for a few months. But woe, the price one pays for being away so long, looks like I missed the party here. In my humble (or not so) opinion you’ve left off two of the best climbing photographers in the business:
Myself ;-)
http://www.onsight.com.au/
And Greg Epperson
http://www.gregepperson.com/
If I can add myself to the comments at least:
Scott Dickerson, Homer, Alaska – Outdoors (especially surfing AK)
Impressive list, thanks for sharing.
Just wanted to throw in Nathan Welton Photo to the mix. Climbing, skiing, and underwater images. http://www.nathanweltonphoto.com.
