Lightfall – A Journey in Photography with Sterling Lorence

by 0

What does it take to get a great photo? Pete Scullion gave us some insight in Singletrack Magazine Issue 141. He talks of things being easier with some riders other than others, and preparation, but Sterling Lorence is taking patience to an extreme degree in this video.

Sterl has only had one Singletrack cover, and the shot features in the video. It’s a classic moody foggy woodsy Sterling Lorence shot.

The shot he’s going for in this video is in similar conditions. Next time you’re flicking through Instagram, take a moment to appreciate the effort that may well have gone into giving the appearance of a snatched moment in time. Building. Mock ups. Tree climbing, hidden lights. Lots of standing around in the rain, probably being eaten by bugs. Sounds like a great life, huh? Still, better than school portraits…

Lightfall shares the story of legendary MTB photographer Sterling Lorence and his process to get the perfect shot in the dank and misty mountains of Vancouver’s legendary North Shore, with riders Jackson Goldstone and Brett Rheeder.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
