We shot this photo in a massive hip in Bjursas Soul Park. The resort where I learnt how to snowboard an eventually had my first shot published from. Jonas Carlson had been shaping this monster for almost two weeks for the Nitro Crew and finally he got to ride it himself. The clouds moved in fast and instead of a sunset session we had a more of session next to Mordor. Jonas had a few tries to nail this perfect "melon to fakie" but in the end it landed him the cover of Snowboard Mag in the US.

About the shot
Biography
I grew up in Falun, Dalecarlia and in the early 90's I started to skate and snowboard. I got hooked straight away and after a few years we started to make movies with our crew. A few of my friends got sponsored and after a while their sponsors needed photos and the ball started rolling. Before I was really sure on how my camera worked properly I had photos printed. It was a bit backwards but eventually I worked it all out. After attending a Photography School in Stockholm and assisting a few other photogs I started to travel with my boardbag and my camera. The last few years I've managed the Swedish boardsports mag Transition mixed with shooting for different commercial clients.
