It is always a bit uncomfortable–but a good thing–to challenge yourself with completely different subject matter…like the amazingly agile skaters and bikers at the local park. We were out there today with the kids from our twice-monthly photography class.
My images are certainly not the kind you’ll find in the current, “raging and sick”, skate mags, but they definitely have the stamp of my personal style upon them.
Given the harsh sunlight, my idea was to work a bit with the shadows. Shadows. My eye likes the shadows.
See what you think…
The skater in the rest of the photographs is Ventus Koza Kisari, a guy with some amazing moves and getting results on the competition circuit:
That’s photographer Dana Bove getting up close as Ventus does his thing. I really like how the shadow worked out on this one as Ventus gets some air on the rebound:
