SEQUENCE

A sequence photo is the deconstruction of a moving subject within the same image. It’s a particularly interesting technique to portray a sports figure: ski and snowboard jumps, skating, etc. The results are always impressive, especially for rapid, acrobatic winter sports.

Jean Louis de Heeckeren

For most of his life, Chilean photographer Juan Louis de Heeckeren has been around fast-action sports – either shooting them or taking part. After gaining a degree in photography from Universidad del Pacifico in Santiago, Juan Louis began working as a freelance photographer for big-name brands in the sporting industry like Patagonia, The North Face and Red Bull.

He has also worked as photography editor for the Chilean magazines Lift and Freestyle, and his photography has graced the pages of sports titles across the globe. These days you’ll find Juan moving between the Andes mountain range and the Chilean coast, looking for the perfect landscape in which to photograph his subjects.

Photographer Juan Luis de Heeckeren in 2016 caught up with Marko Grilc in the Chilean resort of El Colorado. They teamed up to create some memorable images of snowboarding.

The shot is a sequence of Marko pulling off a Backside 360 Mute with the majestic Andes as backdrop. The awesome view and the twilight give a nice mood to the picture – well done Juan Luis.
