You probably already seen the footages from the Burton European Open in Laax but you know sometimes it just feel good to look at picture and enjoy the beauty and the technique (it can be more prominent than video). As we bring our photographer to the BEO, we ask him to cruise around the contest to let the creativity guide his camera. And as always with Germain, we're very happy with the result, here is what he end up with.
