2013.10/11 Winter Redpoint Boulder Comps
I’ve been getting on the climbing competition racket.
Whilst I am not much of a boulder comp goer myself, they are great fun to be at and photograph. So far I have covered three comps at Redpoint Climbing Centre in Bristol, and another at my digs, The Climbing Academy, with more coming up soon.
So far so tremendously fun. Best of all is the concerted collection of silly faces I now have in my photo library…
Being at the comps is a way of helping out my local climbing venues, and potentially providing them with advertisement material when they need it and I can acquire model releases. However for each event I offer the photos for sale on my website, like when you do a mud run or skydive but loads cheaper.
I’m also testing out a plan to have some dedicated regular climbers exchange stock photo model releases for free photos of themselves looking extremely strong. If it works out I’ll expand this idea further and build a big stock library! Climbers who would like to be in on this to contact me :)
As always cutting criticism and comments via email (tomglendinning.photography@gmail.com) or facebook, are hugely helpful and welcome.
If you don't like something then please, tell me - Also try to articulate why, it is tremendously useful to have constructive, critical feedback. You can view my full portfolio, contact and pricing information on my WEBSITE - tomglendinning.co.uk
