For Jerome Tanon, film has become his trademark. Here’s a guy that had to teach himself how to use a camera because he wanted to take photos of his friends, moved away from digital and hasn’t even looked in the rearview mirror. Jerome’s images are gritty, raw and encapsulate the tremendous emotions that occur throughout any given day while snowboarding. For those of you who have shot on film, you know the feeling of totality experienced upon your first look of a much anticipated negative. Those that haven’t should try. There is no Photoshop, no instant gratification, and what you see is what you get. So for Jerome to build a career in a disposable world of digital it speaks volumes to the talent of this self-produced lensman from France. Be sure to check out his work on the cover and gallery of Snowboard Mag 11.1, The Product Collection.

About Focal Point:

This photo essay series was designed to exhibit the countless photos that do not make it into the incredibly competitive pages of snowboarding magazines. Photos can be published or unpublished, taken 10 years ago or last season. Photographers are given up to 17 photographic categories to meet, each with the goal of showing a different aspect of life in snowboarding. All captions are written by the photographer.
