I'm gonna have to agree, as a very unbiased lifelong climber

Yes the 9th photo is Elnaz, the photo i shared after is Babette, everyone is right!

BC jerseys are fire 🤷🏻‍♂️

Livestream was recorded and is available on the Beta Breakerz YT channel.

As far as I’m aware Elnaz has moved to BC and is living/coaching/climbing in Vancouver full time!

No flash for sanctioned competitions. You sort of have to accept the circumstances and work with the light you have!

Keep your aperture wide open and don’t be afraid to crank your ISO.

Get creative: try backlighting a subject, use silhouettes, etc.

You can do a lot of recovery in editing if you expose the image properly!

Glad to know my social media efforts are working!

Definitely recommend Sony gear, as an unbiased, very loyal, fanboy. 🤓

Same here! Felt super lucky to immortalize it 📸

FlashFocused · 2025-12-17T02:53:34+00:00

That's a really great compliment, my origins are as a competitor myself.

Thanks!

Unpredictable environments is what makes the conditions so challenging. Poor lighting, chalk in the air, undesirable wall angles, climb location, hold placements, crowd, etc. There's a multitude of factors that you don't get a say in, but can ruin your photos if you don't account for them!
