About My Rafting Photos
What started as a hobby to capture my kayaking adventures, slowly turned into a way to support my roles in business and help those businesses market their services.
For the last 10 years, I have cut my teeth working full time as a photographer while paddling the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork of the American River. This time was spent photographing various locations and then marketing photo-packages direct to consumer.
Meanwhile, my partnership with Tsunami Sales & Marketing focused on creating Product-Sales and How-To Videos for an inflatable kayak and SUP Manufacturer.
Passion projects included Athlete Profile videos of kayakers, surfers and river guides and the short documentary film, "South Silver, The First Descent."
Now, with over 30 years of river running experience, I have developed an eye to achieve the best results during different weather, lighting, and flows. My services focus on helping businesses achieve their goals by improving their visual representation and implementing photo and video strategies.
There is no better way to capture a river experience than photos and video shot and produced by photographer Scott Blankenfeld and My Rafting Photos.
Quality
Our cameras are capable of capturing up to 45 megapixel still images at high speeds (up to 12 frames per second) enabling split second captures of action to achieve maximum impact. This allows more creative control for cropping, printing and posting online. Our motion capture is capable of 4k video up to 120 frames per second, with 10 bit 4:2:2 color on a full frame (35mm) sensor.
We exclusively use professional level Canon glass which creates superior sharpness, contrast and colors when compared to less expensive aftermarket lenses. And combined with a high powered light kit from Aperture and pro audio from Sennheiser, your video will look and sound great.
