bigquotesI grew up in a small town in new Hampshire. Mountain biking was something that wasn’t even on my radar, I didn’t know anybody that did it. I was always interested in photography and filming but most of the people where I lived had 9 to 5 jobs and worked for a big corporation, and to me that was kind of the inevitable, even though I didn’t want that for myself.Heather Young

Heather has had a unique start in her journey as a photographer who has transitioned from fashion into shooting mountain biking primarily. This shows through her unique style and take on an industry of photography that can start to feel very cut and paste. Take a look into an afternoon shoot with Eliot Jackson, revisiting some of the trails he used to spend countless hours on back when he was training for the world cup race season.

 Agreed - every picture or clip of him riding tends to give me that instant sense of "I want to go ride".

 Really stoked on this video. I work in the photo world and ride bikes every second I get a chance. She's crushing it; cool to hear she has made photos work in her favoured industry.

 This video was helpful to see how you shift perspective for the camera angle. It's sometimes tough to tell what position works best to capture the image (low/high/close/far).

Thanks to all of you involved.

 If I am correct Heather is also a Plymouth State grad. Which of course just makes her better.
