  • Kiteboarding Magazine May 09

    Kiteboarding Magazine Releases its 10th year anniversary issue. Lou Wainman scored the well-deserved cover shot by Tracey Kraft.

    Kiteboarding_10Years

    REAL ran an ad congratulating the magazine on ten years. I shot this shot with the help of Jason Slezak, Matt Nuzzo and Trip Forman. The shot was supposed to be taken for the article on Matt and Tip in the issue. We chose a different shot to use in the ad. Layout by JD.

    The Triple-S ad also ran in this issue. With input for Jason Slezak and Chris Stephany, I was able to crank this one out in record time.

  • Kiteboard Cancer Fundraiser

    My buddy Chris Stuckey is going to kiteboard across a 24 mile long lake to raise money for Leukemia research. Chris’ goal is to raise $10,000. I put together this poster to help him promote this event. Please check out his page HERE.

  • Canvas Prints Arrive

    BRYANELKUS_21752

    My canvas prints I ordered arrived today. I received 6 prints today. 5 of the canvases are 32” and one is 24”. I had forgot which photos I ordered for the prints so it was like my birthday unveiling each canvas. I am sooo excited about how they turned out. I think they should sell out fast. Contact me if you interested in a print and we can make it happen.

    UPDATE: The Rodanthe Pier Piece and the Walk way to the Sound Piece have been sold. I can order a couple more pieces if anyone was interested in those.

    Check them out HERE.

  • REAL’s Newsletter

    Snowkiting-in-Cape-Hatteras-1

    This is a copy of REAL’s latest newsletter. It is the most recent version. We updated to the template of the newsletter to give the readers something more fresh and a different layout. I think this is my favorite to date. The graphics all lined up well.

  • 2008 REAL Sales Rep

    BRYANELKUS_19907

    This was a quick project for REAL’s best Sales Rep for 2008. I took a classic Bilderback shot and added a bit of text. We printed it out and put it in a nice frame and shipped it off.

  • Liquid Force Kites | Product Shot

    A product shot that I took showed up on the Liquid Force kiteboarding site. The photograph is a picture of Jason Slezak’s new promodel board The Influence. This was taken a few months ago of one of Jason’s prototypes.

  • Todi USA Header

    Todi_Index_Surf

    Todi USA recently picked up a couple images for their homepage. Todi is an athletic footwear company. They are marketed towards athletes. The shoes look nice and I hear are quite comfortable. The two shots they choose are a surfing and kiteboarding image. The ktieboarding shot of Evan was taken in The Slick. The thick barrel surfing shot was taken at the First Jetty at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

  • Updated ’09 REAL Shipping Box

    BRYANELKUS_19622

    The newly updated REAL Shipping boxes have arrived at REAL. The new design reflects REAL’s brand change from REAL Kiteboarding to REAL Watersports. The name, logo, website and address were changed to give a fresher look this year. No specifications were changed during this update; it was solely a physical adaptation. Due to limitations brought forward, the design, space and layout of the graphic was limited.

    The Triple-S Ad showed up in the new Kiteboarding magazine. The design was taken from the Triple-S Sponsorship Package Proposal.  The background photography is a mixture of Bilderback and Elkus photos.
