We are Bradley & Brandy Krisher with Inked Revenant Productions, formerly B&B Photography. Recently, we have rebranded and started to focus our business model directly towards Ultra Running events and companies. Although we love anything that utilizes our passion for photography, we've had to step back from other things to focus more on the things we truly love. Combining our love for what we do and the community we love and support was a no-brainer for us. This decision has allowed us to fill the future year with many events we will be attending to capture all you runners out there, making way towards your accomplishments.

With that being said............ here are some tips for you to get the best photo out there on the trails.

Focus on the journey

Listen, we won't ignore you if you strike up a conversation. If anything you will know we are there when we start cheering. I will admit, this can break your focus and sometimes cause you to walk and or start to talk. We don't blame you, we might be the first humans you seen in miles.

With this said, no hard feelings if you want to stay in the focus zone and push through. You've got a goal and you're working towards accomplishing it.

"I don't know what to do with my hands."

Common in just about any photo we've ever taken, working with people. What is it about hand placement? Why do they play such a role in getting a photo of ourselves? I'll say this: there's nothing wrong with throwing your hands in the air like you just don't care. If it's a natural photo you are out to get on the trails, don't worry about those appendages; they're busy keeping you in forward propulsion, while balancing, and maintaining rhythm. Simply smile if you see the lens. Or don't, those are even better in my opinion.

Act Natural

What does that statement even mean? How do we "act natural"? Sure, we could scream this out to you, however, that would just make things a bit awkward if you felt you were already there.

How about just be. Just be you, be the runner that's putting your best foot forward to the finish line. Make that grunting face cause you're feeling some pains, cry, laugh, smile, scream. Whatever it is you are doing in that moment to stay away from posing.

We prefer you don't "act natural", You'll be thankful you were natural.

Dammit! I see you, let me run

I get it, you spent all that time training, putting in those steps, calculating your calorie and hydration intake. You're all trained up to run. The last thing you want is a photo of yourself walking.

We actually hear this the most. "Hang on, let me run before you take the picture."

This is ultra running, which also involves a great amount of trudging. Walking is quite accepted in this sport. If you see us, just take off, saying it puts yourself in a weird headspace like you're doing something you don't want. It's all over your face in the final product.

Final Thoughts

There's no such thing as a bad race photo. You are doing the best you can while out there and just trying to have some fun. We understand. We hope these few tips help you achieve that wall-hanging shot of you headed towards the finish.

See you on the trails
