Whistler camps offer the right exposure

This summer Whistler’s Momentum Ski Camps will offer “Exposure,” a new film and photography camp for youth and young adults, taught by some of action sports’ most successful professional filmmakers and photographers. “Exposure” will take place from July 6 to July14, 2012. Ski photographer Blake Jorgenson from Whistler Outdoor Photography, will take a leading role on the photography side and adapt his already established workshops in Whistler to focus on youth action sports. On the film side Darren Rayner of the grassroots film and clothing company, Voleurz, is slated to act as Exposure’s film director. Poor Boyz Productions crew will also provide film instruction and mentorship. Poor Boyz helped lead the skiing revolution when it began in the late 90’s with the movie “13” and since then have continued to produce some of the best action sports films in the industry. Geared for youth and young adults, Exposure will teach photographic and film techniques, creative vision, technical and post production skills, all centred around the snow and action sport industry, while being immersed in the fun Momentum ski camp environment. Momentum Camps will also offer five regular ski camp sessions this summer, geared for recreational and competitive mogul,slopestyle and halfpipe skiers, with instruction and mentorship from Olympians, World Cup and X Games champions.
