Obviously for certain commercial jobs when you have a pretty big shot list I will dig into some of those specialty lenses and strobes that I would probably not take with me for some of my personal projects. Shutterbug is the leading photo and imaging magazine for advanced amateur and professional photographers, and all who relate to their photography as a meaningful part of their lives. I prefer to keep things as simple as I can, less is always more especially when you are running around the mountains. It really comes down to what I am shooting will depend on what I will bring with me. Q: How do you select the gear that you use?Ī I have a wide variety of gear to choose from, I think I own about 14 lenses, 3 or 4 camera bodies, about 5-6 different flash/strobe combos, and various camera packs. Now I get inspired by all the amazing photos photographers are creating, but my ultimately it is just being outside that inspires me the most. I would shoot photos with my friends when we would go skiing and climbing, as it was kind of just a natural thing to want to take pictures while having fun.Ī Galen Rowell was my first inspiration as a photographer, as he was one of the first to pave the way for adventure photographers.
I took a B&W photo class and instantly fell in love with the process of taking pictures, developing the film and making prints in the dark room. We wanted to understand a little more about actually got Christian excited about photography so we thought what a great time to find out.Ī I got interested in photography my freshman year in college.
When the situation calls for it, and when the shoot site is fairly easily accessible, he may add Elinchrom lighting gear.Īnd how did Pondella get his professional start? He happened to be skiing the same slopes as the photo editor for Powder Magazine, and they started talking. Normally, he’ll carry two camera bodies and several lenses in a photo backpack, but climbs or skis with only one camera with an attached wide zoom lens joined to him at the hip, with possibly an extra lens in a pouch also attached to the waist belt on the opposite side. “I’m right there I’m a part of the action,” Pondella emphasized. Pondella, who is adept at skiing and ski mountaineering, often finds himself in precarious situations to photograph athletes who ski perilous slopes or climb rock faces or ice formations and even BASE jump off cliffs. These ugly digital artifacts tend to show up as distracting specs of grain, or random variations in color and brightness in areas of an image than should appear clean. That is indeed true for extreme sports photographer Christian Pondella, who has a strong following on several social media platforms, particularly Instagram. Photographers tend to be very serious about eliminating (or at least reducing) noise in their photographs. Social media has clearly taken the world by storm and photographers have been quick to catch on. This feat has meant that his specific vision has been in demand from his many commercial clients and as well as the photographic press, to that end Shutterbug magazine have put Christian on the front cover with a multi page feature in their magazine. Christian Pondella is a photographer who has been part of the Staff Pro team here at f-stop for quite a while now and has always inspired his fellow photographers through his creativity and desire to push the boundaries with what has been considered possible.
