hey,

i'm doing a school project that includes a wakeskating photo shoot... does anyone have any tips on how to go about this?? should i bring lunch for the riders? what angles should i get? should i have the camera on a second boat? anything else?

lunch-yes

angles- the more the merrier

second boat camera- yes

else/tips- lifestyle shots are huge, film everything from the roll up to the roll out(sometimes you never know when something cool is about to happen. keep the camera steady, and get good trim as far as a lead to a shot and a nice long fade out.
have fun with it cause good vibes go a long way.

post up the footy when you wrap Smash

The actual photography doesn't matter. Take pictures of the riders eating the lunch and post them on twitter.

But seriously.. try to find angles with the least amount of spray covering the board when they be poppin' tricks. Chase boat for sure.

Try and get faces.

It always gives the picture more emotion catching the face of the rider. Don't get me wrong, theres certainly memorable shots that don't capture the riders face, but it certainly adds a lot more to the photo
