So Tyler, how'd you first get into this photography thing?

I had a crazy teacher in high school who made me do weird photo projects that got me out of my "real" classes. That's good enough for any teenager.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These days you're making a living off photography. Is it 'all that and a bag of chips' as the saying goes? Money, fame, women, or something like that?

Yes of course, just like the movies...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's your favourite sport to shoot? You don't have to say skiing, but readers everywhere will think you're a loser if you don't. Or maybe not? No pressure...

Skiing is a close second to lawn bowling because you are out there with all the other challenges that nature offers, not stuck in an arena with lights and crowds. Travel photography will be my future favorite though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What are you hoping to catch in front of your lense this winter?

Well, this is my last full time year in Whistler so i need to take advantage of this great area and shoot ,shoot,shoot. I really want to shoot a full on red neck rodeo sometime soon, Does that count?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I notice you have a pretty sweet travel section on your website, www.tylergarnham.com. Any killer trips lined up for '04?

Yes, After moving to the big smoke i will be heading to Zimbabwe for some travel shooting and to follow some big animals around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what about that shot in the 'people' section of your website, with 9 girls and daffodils around you? Do you have some kinda job on the side you aren't telling us about?

On occasion i do get a chance to work with the beautiful people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always have to ask this question... If you could smuggle a camera into any event/location/predicament/scenario on the planet, where or what would it be?

I would love to smuggle my camera onto a shoot for National Geo in some country that none of us has heard of before.

 

Any thanks?

I would like to say thanks to Coast Mountain for the experience and pay cheques for the last 5 years and to all the folks that have woke me up early for an epic day on the hills.
