Mountain Bike Photography
bikeparkphoto.com is a project that has been in the pipeline for several years, ignited by my interest in photography and mountain biking. It’s a way for me to combine those interests and build a focused outlet for my mountain bike photography.
The project came to life in 2022 during a season in Morzine. While photographing riders in Avoriaz Bike Park, I was repeatedly asked where the mountain bike photos could be downloaded. At that point, bikeparkphoto.com was still just an idea, but I had the means to make it happen - so I built it.
I was able to build something quite quickly, which left me the rest of the season to focus on photographing sessions. With the rules around working in France being particularly strict, I made the photos available to download for free, allowing me to develop the project without technically working.
By the end of the summer, I was shooting regularly at my local, Farmer John’s Bike Park, and charging a nominal fee for the photos. The project still wasn’t about making money, but covering costs to keep it sustainable as a mountain bike photographer.
Over the following three years, I’ve continued to develop bikeparkphoto.com, eventually introducing private mountain bike photo sessions. Working with smaller groups of riders on specific features has been a very different experience - one that consistently produces higher-quality MTB photos tailored to particular riding styles.
Alongside the photography, I’ve continually worked on developing the site itself. This has involved ongoing user experience improvements, refining how riders find, view, and download their photos, and steadily building out the digital side of the project through search visibility, content, and marketing. The goal has been to create a platform that supports high-quality mountain bike photography and makes accessing MTB photos simple and intuitive as possible for riders.
I’ve been blown away by the feedback so far and genuinely overwhelmed by the support from both riders and bike parks. I’m stoked to see how the project continues to evolve as I refine and polish every aspect of it, and I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for bikeparkphoto.com.
