Grant Gunderson
One of the ski industry’s most talented photographers, 30 year old Gunderson, based at Mt Baker, Washington, has shot for nearly every major snow sports and outdoor publication worldwide including Outside, Powder, Freeskier, Skier, Skiing and Ski. In addition to his editorial work, Grant supplies many of the world’s top brands with images that set the bar for a new level of creativity and define the culture of action sports. A plastics engineer by education, Gunderson recently won the Ski Salt Lake City Photo Shoot Out and was named one of the world’s top 50 action sport photographers by Red Bull. He skis close to 200 days a year and makes a high quality and high octane homebrewed ale. Currently he is serving as the Photo Editor of The Ski Journal, and shooting 35,000 images a year.
"Of the 35,000, and that's after my first round of edits, I'd expect to sell at least 500, minimum. It's a numbers game, and you've got to have a huge body of work to keep the commercial and magazine clients happy," Gunderson says of his quality and quantity theory.
