// ABOUT US
We ski it. We shoot it. We film it.
Arlberg Collective is a dedicated ski photography studio and film crew for the full Arlberg ski area — St. Anton, Rendl, Lech, Zürs, Stuben and Warth-Schröcken. 305km of terrain, and every type of skiing on it. See our ski photoshoot packages and prices, or book a session for your dates.
SAME-DAY PREVIEW
// THE APPROACH
The camera is ours. The images are yours.
You book us directly. No ski school required — just choose your session, pick your dates, and we show up. We ski alongside you, position for the shots, and document the day: the group, the turns, the light, the whole trip.
If you’re heading off-piste, you’ll need a licensed mountain guide — we can recommend the right one and join alongside them. Either way, by the end of the day the images are yours: a same-day preview by 8pm, the full gallery within five days.
// HOW IT WORKS
Book us, meet us, ski.
Half day, full day, multi-day or a film add-on. Every price is per session, not per person.
Tell us when you’re on the mountain and the size of your group. We confirm in writing.
We meet you on the hill and shoot the day — no ski school, no waiting around.
A preview on your phone by 8pm, the full edited gallery within five working days.
// WHERE WE SHOOT
One ski photography studio. Every connected resort.
305km of pistes across every connected resort in the Arlberg. We go wherever the conditions and your group take us.
That range matters more than it sounds. A ski photography studio tied to one village ends up shooting the same three pitches all season. We move. St. Anton and Nasserein for long cruising groomers and the drama on the Kandahar. Rendl for quiet, south-facing lines and the best afternoon light on the mountain. St. Christoph when the valley is flat and grey. Stuben and the Albona for old-school steep. Lech and Zürs for wide open bowls that hold their shape in dull weather. Warth-Schröcken when it has snowed there and nowhere else.
All of it sits on one lift pass — the Ski Arlberg area — so a session is never limited to the village you happen to be staying in.
We plan each shoot the evening before, around the forecast, the lift status and where your group actually wants to ski. Beginners get the nursery slopes shot properly rather than a pretence at a powder film. Strong skiers get met at the top and kept moving. Families usually get both in the same day.
Either way, you are dealing with the people holding the camera. No agency, no ski school desk, no middleman.
A ski photography studio only earns its keep if the images arrive while the trip still feels real. A preview of five to eight frames lands on your phone by 8pm on the day you ski. The full gallery — a hundred images from a half day, two hundred or more from a full day — follows within five working days in a private download gallery, edited and ready to print or post.
And if the mountain closes, we reschedule at no cost. Weather is the one thing nobody here controls, and we have never thought it fair to charge for it.
What a ski photography studio actually does on the day
A ski photography studio is not a room with lights in it. Ours is the mountain, and the working day starts before yours does — checking the overnight snow, the wind loading and the lift openings, then deciding where the light will be worth skiing to.
Morning. We meet you at the lift, not at an office. A few minutes to work out what you actually want out of the day: first turns on empty piste, the group together, the kids progressing, or the off-piste line you have been building up to. Nobody stands around posing.
On the hill. We ski alongside you, position ahead for the shot, and stay out of the way the rest of the time. We work with the light rather than against it, which usually means shooting east-facing terrain early, moving into the trees when the sky goes flat, and saving the wide open pitches for the last two hours of the afternoon.
Evening. The cull and the edit start while you are still in your boots. A preview set lands on your phone by 8pm — enough to show at dinner, post, or send home. The full gallery follows within five days, colour-graded and at full resolution, and the files are yours to print.
That is the whole model of the studio: no ski school booking, no per-person pricing, no watermarks, no drip-feeding images to sell you a bigger package later. One flat price per session, up to six people, across St. Anton, Rendl, Nasserein, Lech, Zürs, Stuben and Warth-Schröcken.
Conditions decide the route every time, and we plan around the live report from the St. Anton am Arlberg tourist board. If a day is genuinely not worth shooting, we will say so and move it.

No agency, no ski school, no middleman. You deal with the people holding the camera.
