This photo was taken at Ski Portillo, in Chile.Time
We set up around 6:00pm as the sun was setting and took multiple shots until around 8:00 in order to get this final imageLighting
The lighting I a few shots at various points of dusk that are blended together. The skier is shot with 2 speedlight, 1 downhill to light up the snow spray, and one behind for a back light.Equipment
Shot with a Canon 5D MKiii, 24-70 for.8L, and 2 speed lightsInspiration
I always wanted to try to blend night time landscapes with skiing. Luckily I had some close friends that were willing to ski through rocks, at night, then be blinded by the strobes.Editing
Several hours of post processing to blend the landscape shots, and then the shots with Nicolaj skiing afterwards.In my camera bag

Trial and error. We spent a lot of nights experimenting with setting up the lighting, and waiting for good snow to actually get some spray. Enjoy the process!
