Edit Wiki Cole Barash: An Emerging Photographer to Watch
Photo District News (PDN) is the leading photo magazine for professional photographers. Each year they select 30 new and emerging photographers to keep an eye on. Cole Barash is one of the emerging photographers we are highlighting this month. Enjoy the journey through Cole's photographs!
"Snowboarding culture is much more than just the action...I want to show what the trip is like getting there." Cole Barash
As I began to research Cole Barash, everything I read points to his dedication and perseverance to the art of photography. As a young teen with a camera Cole educated himself to pursue his dream of photographing snowboarders. Within a short period of time he began photographing ad campaigns. Today, Cole spends a lot of his time on locations - more than 200 days a year - shooting for such clients as Nike Snow, Oakley, Volcom and Transworld Snowboarding Magazine.
Through his work it is evident; Cole continues to push the boundaries with his compositions, lighting techniques and lenses. He is only 22. Amazing!

Kevin Pearce - Xgames- Aspen, CO. This was right before Kevin dropped into his final run, for the finals at Xgames 2008. You have to wonder.... What is going through his mind at this time? Because it's game time!
Often at contests, photographers are often shooting all the peak action. And quite often everyone's shots look very similar. I went on the mission that night, to try and capture a different story, more of a moment.

I had been starting to experiment with spot lighting in action shots. This was shot in Quebec City, Quebec Canada. Another blew his knee out on the same rail, minutes before this was shot. This type of snowboarding is no joke.

Pat Moore- Aspen, CO. This was shot number one of a special project I have been working on for two years titled "Snow Silho". I shot Pat doing a handplant on a quarter pipe against a white background. I wanted to create a powerful silhouette feel like you would possibly get in the studio but we did it on location.

Comment: Great pictures! The only way to enjoy winter is to embrace a winter sport or activitiy. Last year, I improved my snowman making abilities (thanks to my son). Maybe this year I will get refamiliarized with my skis.
