Morgan Maaessen

I am a photographer from Santa Barbara, California and was born in 1990. My interest inphotography started in my teens after experimenting with my family’s home video camera at thebeach, goofing off with friends and exploring thecentral coast. After working in the graphic designindustry, I decided to pursue filmmaking and then photography as both a creative outlet andoccupation.Growing up in and around the ocean has provided me with my favorite subject tophotograph. The majority of my work is water-related and involves the oceanic lifestyle. I’ve alsofrequently incorporated my passions of traveling, snowboarding, nature, architecture and fashioninto my work. While I strive to capture what I see as beautiful, this is often notthe perfect moment.Instead, light, textures, and the abstract nature of the earth are what truly fascinate me–the humanelement and the infinite variables of emotion keep me on my toes when working with people.Iconsider myself an active participant inthe digital age. The internet has allowed me to communicate,network and collaborate with people, places, and subject matter across the world. I enjoy workingwith both film and digital mediums, and motion pictures are the apple of my eye. I dream of nothingmore than visiting the next new country, capturing whatever beauty it may hold

Scott Serfas

Scott Serfas was born in the suburbs of Vancouver where nothing separated him from the North Pole but a stained wooden fence and crushed decretive rock. At age sixteen, he was abducted from high school by an unsuspecting church organization and forced to ski moguls and perform daffy’s off lemmings leap under the 7th heaven chairlift–the original stimulus for Scott’s interest in air time photography.

Overwhelmed by the vast terrain and deep powder of the two mega resorts, Scott escaped the grip of skiing church group to acquire his first snowboard. Later that year he moved into a friends VW van that they would park nightly underground, below the conference center, where they would steal power from the last stall of the third floor to heat the ’73 Westfalia. He subsisted on leftover food from the Rendezvous restaurant a top Blackcomb Mountain and wore clothing left in the lost and found. During the early 1990′s he acquired his first Canon camera when a drunk French-Canadian freestyle skier, being pursued by the RCMP, stashed it along with twenty rolls of unexposed Fuji Provia and a half bottle of
Rye Whiskey in stall number three of the Garfinkel’s washroom. Scott’s destiny was sealed. After exposing all the film shooting up-and-coming professional snowboarders like Devun Walsh, Kevin Sansalone and Rob Dow he mustered enough courage to submit the color slides to Concrete Powder Magazine.

From his first photo published in Concrete Powder his fame grew. He made a fortune and spent it on bottles of Royal Reserve whiskey for the Chesterfield House parties and Jager shots for friends at Tommy Africa’s. In 1998, the worlds largest and most prestigious snowboard magazine, Transworld SNOWboarding, recruited him as a senior photographer. Since that day he has had thousands of photos published for clients worldwide with more than 100 magazine covers to his name.

Today, Scott still shoots full time the sports he loves; Snowboarding, Skateboarding, Surfing and Biking but recently has shifted some focus towards commercial photography working for Clients such as Filson, Red Bull, Lululemon, Whistler-Blackcomb and GQ.
