In this Episode: As an action sports photographer, some days often end up being more about documenting an activity rather than actually doing it. Reuben Krabbe, a Squamish local and renowned photographer, has been focusing on packing light and documenting from right beside the riders to authentically capture in-the-moment action. Joined by Stephen Matthews and Sid Slotegraaf, the trio pedal out the door to ride some classic Squamish granite and shoot photos for
Freehub’s upcoming photo book.
Snapshot is a series focusing on four different photographers and the communities in which they live and work. World-class photography is a mix of amazing locations, unique characters and capturing the moments that happen in between. This series tags along with some of the worlds best photographers in the Sea to Sky corridor and provides a glimpse into the way they operate while documenting the area’s remarkable trails.

Also where do I get a hold of a local guide/coach? I would love to ride more outside my known loop but there is so much riding there it's really difficult to know whats good. When you have limited time you want to spend it riding not bushwhacking.
Guides, trust your local bike shop: tantalus or Republic are rad!

You are lucky to earn your living doing what you love.
Now as an amateur I would like to have a tip from you - when shooting in the woods in bright sunny conditions, with lots of contrast from the trees, you get exposure problems, ending up the either the rider beeing a black hole or sunny spots beeing overexposed.
How do you cope with that - go fur panning shot?
BTW- i remeber a short tutorial from eric Palmer here on PB, would you consider?
