Tyler Stableford Shows Us Where the Action is
TYLER STABLEFORD HAD ALWAYS BEEN PASSIONATE about storytelling, dating back to his college days. It began with the written word but soon metamorphosed into still photography. Before long, Stableford was working as an editor on two outdoor adventure publications, first Climbing Magazine, followed by Rock and Ice Magazine, where he was also able to pursue photography combined with his passion for adventure sports, which had had a hold on him since his teen years.
The year 2004 signified a departure from his full-time staff job so he could devote himself entirely to photography. A few years later the introduction of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II marked another milestone, catapulting Stableford into moviemaking. That took him and his storytelling to the next level. However, the still image would remain a staple for Stableford.
Several years later and Stableford’s forays into the moving image had paid off, with the award-winning production of a short film entitled “Shattered.” The film told the story of elite alpinist Steve House (pictured here in a still shot). The movie had an intensity and immediacy that hit you as you watched the story unfold.
A RISKY BUSINESS
Stableford admitted that capturing adventure sports has its risks, but added that he takes steps to lessen these risks. “To be a safe adventure photographer you need to have really well developed skills in any environment where you’re working. That means being able to take care of yourself in extreme weather, being comfortable rigging your own safety lines, being well versed in self-rescue techniques and avalanche safety protocols. Most important is being a part of a team and taking good care of your teammates. I’m keeping an eye on them, and they on me.”
