SHOOTER: BRYCE PACKHAM

NAME: Bryce Packham
AGE: 19
LOCATION: Idaho, Utah

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SHOOTING?
About 10 months. I got my first camera last October.

FILM OR DIGITAL?
Digital. I know I’ll eventually migrate over to film, but for right now digital just makes more sense.

BEST THING YOU’VE EVER SHOT?
That’s really a tough question. I’d probably have to go with a shot I took of Bryant Shepherd doing a whip over some caution tape. It was one of the first photos I ever took and I was so stoked when I saw how it turned out. That was sorta the photo that hooked me.

FAVE RIDER TO SHOOT WITH?
I’d have to say it’s a tie between Bryant Shepherd and Josh Hult. I like shooting with Bryant because he is a super creative rider and I always come away with unique shots. Shooting with Josh is fun because he blasts every trick and just goes as high as possible, and he is super cool about doing stuff over and over until I get a shot we’re both pleased with.

DREAM RIDER TO SHOOT WITH?
I’d love to shot some stuff with Sean Burns.

WHAT DO YOU TELL SECURITY WHEN THE TRY TO THROW YOU OUT OF SPOTS FOR TAKING PICS?
I feed them something along the lines of this being my job and we’re doing it for a magazine.

FAVE BMX PHOTOGRAPHER?
Rob Dolecki (duh) and Keith Romanowski’s photos have both had a pretty big influence on me.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
Someone who doesn’t hate their job.
