Photos and imagery have become such a common feature of today’s society that they are often overlooked.
Many ski photos and videos are now taken with just the click of a button on a phone.
Many claim to bephotographersbut few are artists of the craft.
Those that are, often find themselves the forgotten parts of events or stories.
Behind The Lens is an attempt to remedy that.
Our first instalment comes from the legendary park shoot known as KimboSessions.
Some great upcoming photographers had the chance to shoot the event in Klappen earlier this year.

First up, Martin Axell, a 19 year-old from hailing from Sweden.
The lighting was incredible and he captured the moment beautifully.
He started out filming his friends skiing for a few seasons and soon began pursuing photography instead of cinematography.
Martin’s roots began to grow in the Swedish ski scene when he moved away for school.
“I graduated from high school in 2016 and moved back home for the summer.
I saved up and purchased a full-frame camera after that summer.”
“3 years ago I got the opportunity to go to Creation Nation with Johan Niemi and Niklas.
He grew up, and currently, lives in Alvdalen, a small town in central Sweden.
Petter began pursing photography in late 2008 at the local ski hill.
Today, Petter is 30 and is still living in Alvdalen, working full-time as an electrician.
