Tero Repo
Profession: Photographer Born: 1978 Camera: Canon Lense: Canon, (sigma) Strobe: Canon, Quantum, Elinchrom Hobby: Fishing, Beachvolley, Darts I first got to know Tero in 1998 through a text he wrote for Finnish snowboard Magazine, Slammer. It was an article about Verbier, his home resort, and it was full of spelling errors and other mistakes, big and small. I had "the plea- sure" of proof reading it, and I can assure you it was not an easy task! I really did not expect much from the guy who wrote the mentioned piece of crap... However, Tero’s pictures already back then were very nice. And since they’ve only got better. So much so, that nowadays I think Tero is one of the very best ski and snowboard photographers out there. His is a true master at what he does... I especially enjoy his freeride shots, they are full of the same power and grace as the riders with whom he shoots. Tero is also very good at capturing pictures of landscapes, some of his sunset shots are best I’ve seen. Despite the bad start, Tero actually is a very good writer nowadays, too. This does not mean that he’d impro- ved the slightest bit when it comes down to making spelling errors and
other mistakes, they are still
there, it simply means that his stories are super fun reading. He’s got that very rare skill of making stories come alive, he truly is a na- tural storyteller! Tero’s stories, both written and spoken, simply crack me up at least every third sentence, but he also knows how to be serious. Tero is a great friend. He’s fun loving, easy going and trust worthy, very easy to be with. When it comes down to ma king something happen, he’s full on, as Mr. Repo is a super hard worker. -Jarkko Henttonen, extreme snowboarder and journalist ”Beer. Nice photos. Nice light. Beer. Tero is a good guy to hang out with. He is fun and easy person. Beer. Not always work. He has a very good eye for ski picture but not compli- cated. Beer.” -Sverre Lilieqvist, professional skier ”He is a professional photographer, who likes to work hard. Between the photoshoots he likes to hang out with friends and have a beer or two. He just got back from New York wearing this ghetto track suite costume, that he bought in Brooklyn. That’s typical Tero.” -Joonas Karhumaa, professional telemark skier |
