When you hear the phrase “Telling Stories”, aside from the connotation of fibbing, what’s the first thing you think of? Someone verbally telling stories? Perhaps a poet? A storyteller?
Did you think of a photographer?
Meet John Hafner (self portrait below) who my friend Derek at Piton Productions told me about. He’s an outdoor and hunting photographer whose website and blog contain images of hunts and products he’s shot which do more than convey an image, they tell a story.
In his own words:
I’m one of the youngest and hardest working photographers in the outdoor industry. I have a tremendous amount of passion for what I do. I love telling a story with my camera and helping my clients convey their messages.
I’d like to see more ski photographers use this same philosophy of telling a story rather than capturing the super-duper-gnarly-rad-sicko-huge-air and calling it “remarkable”. Bah.
It’s no wonder brands like Realtree, Cabelas and Primos have worked with John in telling their story through the visual medium. Kudos John.
