With SSX Deadly Descent launching in about a week’s time, my interest in snowboarding is back on track. If you are looking for some snowboarding inspiration then this beautiful video is for you. Fashion photographer and filmmaker Jacob Sutton teamed up with pro snowboarder William Hughes for a very special snowboarding shoot.
The video was filmed in the dead of night, at -25 degrees Celsius, with the only source of light being Hughes’s LED suit, created by designer John Spatcher.
“I was really drawn to the idea of a lone character made of light surfing through darkness. I’ve always been excited by unusual ways of lighting things, so it seemed like an exciting idea to make the subject of the film the only light source,” said Sutton.
The LED suit creates some amazing effects through the flying snow and really creates a sense of solitude in the darkness. Check out the video to see what we mean:
