"Keep paddling" is the advice Stephan Jende gives to budding photographers. And it's advice that fits in well with his current job as photographer for Active Sports, Inc., a company that focuses on outdoor activities.

While Active Sports' main focus is snowboarding, the company also carries windsurfing, skateboarding, skiing, wake boarding, wake surfing, and waterskiing equipment. The company is also moving into camping and hiking. This diversity gives Stephan a unique opportunity to think big—and creatively. "I shoot all the products for the web and manage them. I also have been doing some graphic design banners for our Facebook and Twitter sites," he says. He's also taken action photos for a new bike line.

Stephan believes that his interest in the industry made him stand out in the interview process. He truly enjoys being a part of the industry, instead of "just being on the outside looking in." And as for his advice to "keep paddling," Stephen elaborates, "What I mean by that is always keep pushing and trying to grow not only as an artist but as a person."
