Media, Photography and more.
Any
conversation about Canadian action sports
photographers quickly includes
Dano Pendygrasse. In the more
than 15 years since Dano started documenting the
birth of the snowboard scene in Whistler, his
name has become synonymous with excellence in
snowboard photography. Born and raised in BC, his
work has always been influenced by the stunning
natural environment of his home province.
A generalist in an era of one trick ponies, Dano has been published around the world in dozens of publications. He spent time as a staff shooter for both Transworld Snowboarding Magazine and Snowboarder Magazine before being recruited in 2004 to serve as the Founding Photo Editor of Future Snowboarding Magazine in San Diego, California. While there Dano honed his studio skills and added product photography to his list of skills. Lately Dano's knowledge of social media has been gaining him new exciting clients.
People familiar with Dano's work in snowboarding are often surprised to find out about his extensive archives of photography from outside the action sports documentary realm. His obsession with texture and shape has informed his work since the early days, and his insight into his subjects character shines through in his portraits.
Work on this website is reproduced from negative film, chromes, and digital media. Although he has created images using many different formats and systems, the vast bulk of Dano's work has been accomplished with Nikon cameras.
