My Toughest Shot: Mark Fisher

Seth Morrison in Haines, Alaska

Seth Morrison in Haines, Alaska    Photographer: Mark Fisher

This was the first time I ever held a camera out of a helicopter. It was in Haines, Alaska, and the skier is Seth Morrison. There's all kinds of things happening on a shoot like this. They take the doors off the helicopter, you get strapped in, it's cold outside, so you're wearing gloves, and the production costs are huge, so you fly as little as possible. You sit in a hotel room for a week, waiting for perfect weather. And then when it's time, you have to get the shot. There are no second chances.
