Every year at the Deep Summer Photo Challenge 5 photographers are invited to the competition, and one wildcard photographer joins the 5 invited shooters. I and 4 other photographers have been selected for the wildcard position, but only 1 photographer win the wildcard spot, based on a vote by the users of www.PinkBike.com

What is the Deep Summer Photo Challenge? Its similar to the Banff Photographer Shootout which I won earlier this year. The basic idea is you and a group of riders have 3 days to shoot a bunch of pictures. 1 editing day. At the end each of the 6 photographers present a ~5 minute slideshow infront of a huge crowd during crankworx in Whistler BC.

I invite you to head over to the voting page and select the person who you think can challenge the photographers in the competition. Of course I’d like to think you’ll select me to go head to head with Barham, Zimmerman, Riga, Olsen and O’Neill, but thats really up to you. The voting is based on 3 submission images, which you can see below, but I also invite you to look over my wider (updated) portfolios
