History
Flip McCririck is a ski and action sports photographer based in Golden, CO. Originally from the East Coast of the United States, he moved West for college, studying business at Western State University in Gunnison, CO. He graduated in 1984, then moved to Pasadena, CA to study a Bachelor of Fine Arts in advertising at ArtCenter College of Design. After graduating in 1989, he went on to work as an art director in advertising at Garrison Lontine in Denver, CO, then worked some internships in Los Angeles, CA. A friend who was living in Vail at the time invited Flip to shoot the Pro Mogul tour stop. He came, he shot photos, and he submitted his images to the tour’s organizers, who were impressed enough to invite him back to the next event in Aspen, CO. The tour photographer got caught selling his multi-day pass that had a few days left on it and got fired immediately, and Flip got hired instead. He has been a freelance photographer and owned his business, Flip Photo, since 1991. Flip went on tour to shoot with Shane McConkey, Kent Kreitler, Dean Cummings, Seth Morrison, and Brad Holmes; he shot events in the US, Europe, and Japan. From 1998 to 2003, he was the photo editor for Freeze Magazine, and from 2013 to 2016, he was the photo editor for The Ski Journal. He was a photographer on the 2013 film McConkey. Flip has worked with Nike, Red Bull, Oakley, and Target, and he has made photography books for Warren Miller Entertainment’s magazine, Snow World. He is married, has a child, and is based in Golden, CO. He has more recently begun shooting fly-fishing.
