007.com Features Action Unit Photographer Jasin Boland

007.com features the BLACKRAPID wearing action photographer, Jasin Boland. It’s a great article that talks about some of the most iconic and difficult photographs from different James Bond films. We’ve linked the article here.

“I’ve done some big films but nothing compares to James Bond,” says action stills photographer Jasin Boland. “The thing about Bond is just the awesome locations. I really love the snow in the mountains, that’s my happy place. Trudging around through there with all the equipment, that’s what I love to do.”

“This shot was taken at over 100 miles an hour. The camera is on the actual camera crane mount and the boys will let me sit in the car, and fire my [camera] trigger. Sometimes if I can’t be in the vehicle, they will do it for me. But most of the time, I get the opportunity to do that. They might do 10 takes of it but I only get to do one run. You just don’t know what you’re gonna get but it’s better than sitting on the side of the road getting nothing. I really like this shot because it’s really weird. I didn’t really like it in the beginning. and then I looked at it five or six years later, and was like, ‘Oh, you know what? It’s actually pretty cool.’ What makes it the coolest is how you got it. It was a really tricky shot to pull off.”

There’s a lot of amazing images in the article and the story behind them. Check out Jasin Boland’s interview at 007.com.
