Welcome mountain bikers! Thanks for tuning into The Inside Line podcast. Today we wrap up a candid interview with influential photographer, Ian Hylands. In part one we discussed his history and his impact on our sport, and today we get into his battle with Lyme disease and how that impacted his life. We dig into how he transitioned from a film photographer primarily shooting for print magazines to digital and internet-based work, his time as staff photographer at Niner Bikes, how he ended up at Deity components and a brief nod to the epic human we know as John Kerr, the photographer at Mountain Bike Action. We conclude with some photo tech with Ph.D-level insight into flash photography.
