Bio In Climbing Magazine Issue: 278



Excerpt taken from Climbing Magazine:

A resident of Louisville Kentucky, the freelance photographer Dan Lubbers (danlubbers.com) discovered climbing eight years ago, after a visit to the local gym. A creative mind and a love of the arts have ushered Lubbers, 29, into photojournalism, landing him jobs shooting everyone from Jason Kehl, to the Icelandic band L.B.H. Krew, to fashion models. "Photography/videography is always something I've created to some degree," Lubbers says "I started to approach it as a career path in the past year and a half." His evocative Perspective portrait of the New Mexico shredder Timy Fairfield (p.90), shirtless, was taken after five weeks in a van with Fairfield as part of the La Sportiva Solutions tour in 2007. The dark, high-contrast shot aptly captures Fairfield's intense personality. "We shot it in a field at night in the Red River Gorge," recalls Lubbers. "It took maybe 45 minutes-it was mid-November and cold!" Lubbers' work has appeared in Climbing, Iceland Airwaves, and Urban Climber Magazines.

I am proud to say that the video I assisted on and shot the photographs for "Spraylords" by Victory Productions was the winner of the Humor category.

I am also excited that Timy Fairfield's video "Do What You Like" by Nathan Bancroft won the category for Inspiration.

My personal favorite "Pose Age 38" won the Judges Choice Award.

Laying low with my brain...

Apparently I suffered a concussion to my brain stem mid-July. Needless to say, I haven't really been able to shoot much or do anything else for that matter.
I'm fascinated with anatomy and my neurologist suggested that I get an MRI of my brain.
Figured I would take some images and create an animation with them in photoshop to amuse myself and get over my boredom of cabin fever of resting for the past month and a half.
