The Art of Capturing Adventure with Mike Crane

<p>People have been recording their adventures for tens of thousands of years. From cave drawings, to songs, to cell phone selfies and GoPro videos. Wanting to have a record of our achievements has always been a very human need.</p><p>Capturing our adventures is an integral part of the experience that helps us to tell the story of what happened. When done well, it can add value to an experience and depending on how it’s done. It can even redefine our memory of what happened after the fact.</p><p>In this episode of Delivering Adventure, Jordy and Chris are joined by award winning adventure photographer Mike Crane to discuss how you can record adventure for yourself and others like a pro.</p><p>Mike shares some of the lessons he has learned working as a professional adventure photographer. Capturing adventure is an integral part of the experience and this episode explores how you take your photography and videography farther.</p><p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p><p><u>Managing expectations</u>: Not everyday is going to have perfect weather or conditions. The people you are with might not be that photogenic or end up where you want them to be either. For this reason, arriving with an open mind to just embrace what happens is key.</p><p>The goal should be to look for opportunities to capture that special moment based on the conditions and what happens.</p><p><u>The Goal</u>: Is to Make them look good in the landscape. This might mean capturing people in action or even just standing there.</p><p><u>Only need a Moment</u>: you need a fraction of a second for everything to go well to get that great shot.</p><p><u>Good communication</u>: Getting people in the right place, getting them to do what you want takes coordination. As Mike said, you may not want people to improvise when you are trying to get them to do a certain move in a certain spot. You may also want them to look natural.</p><p><u>Capturing the Special Moment</u>: Can include getting those transitional moments like storms or just capturing the experience through fun moments or even rest moments. It doesn’t always have to be action shots all the time.</p><p><strong>Guest Bio</strong></p><p>Based in Whistler, Mike Crane has been working in the adventure industry as a photographer and videographer for the past twenty years. Early in his career he worked as an action photographer for Powder Mountain Cat skiing as well as taking portrait shots and action photos at Whistler Blackcomb. More recently, he has worked as the staff photographer for Tourism Whistler as well as a freelance photographer. His work has taken him around the world photographing in many different landscapes. It has also involved working with a variety of levels of people from first time skiers to pro athletes.</p><p>Mike has won a number of awards from publications including Canadian Geographic, Your Daily Photograph and Lenswork Magazine.</p><p><strong>Guest Links</strong></p><p>Mike Crane Photography: www. mikecranephotography.com</p><p>Mike Crane Instagram: @mikecranephotography</p><p><strong>Follow or Subscribe</strong></p><p>Don’t forget to follow the show!</p><p><strong>Share &amp; Social Links</strong></p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/deliveringadventure" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/deliveringadventure</a></p><p>Episode Cover Art Credit: Mike Crane</p>
