This post is dedicated to all the people who believed in me and my dream of becoming a professional snowboard photographer.

My young career peaked last week when I got the chance to be an official photographer at the Laax Open, working for @fisparkandpipe  I’m still in disbelief that this really happened.

Growing up, I was a snowboarder and always watched the big contests live online—over and over again. My favourite one? Laax. I always dreamed of going there and witnessing it live. Now one of my biggest dreams has come true. Actually, two of them. I wasn’t just watching this crazy week go down—I was part of it.
From long days shooting photos, short nights, a lot of shit talking, working until I fell asleep, getting sunburnt, realising Switzerland is too expensive to get drunk, or almost shitting my pants while taking portraits of Eileen Gu—I was there, and I loved every second of it.
I met so many amazing people: athletes, judges, photographers, filmers, CEOs, volunteers, strangers, and so many more. I can’t really describe how much this week meant to me, both as a photographer and as a person.

Becoming a professional photographer these days isn’t easy, and it’s definitely not fun all the time—especially when self-doubt and negative thoughts get in my way. It’s not a highway from A to B; it’s more like a fucked-up gravel road where no one really knows where it’s heading.
I don’t know exactly where I’m heading right now or what comes next. I just know it’s the right direction.

I want to thank everyone who ever believed in me or supported me, reached out, liked or reacted to my stories, or took care of me and made all of this possible. Every single thing means so much to me and keeps me chasing this dream.
I love you all. Legends.
Just remember: Never stop & never quit. taken in Laax, Switzerland by @davidtributsch

Was looking through some shots and found this one from Laax last season during Laax Open training. Might be one of my favourites. No clue who the rider was — if you have any idea, lmk taken in Snowpark LAAX by @davidtributsch

Japan photo dump.
———
All of these photos are phone shots on purpose. I didn’t want them to feel too polished. I wanted to keep them raw and real, as a reminder of where I came from and how all of this started. arigato gozaimasu taken in JAPAN by @davidtributsch
