Skateboarding Photography

Over the past two decades, the world of skateboarding has made a major change through the exposure of media. The founder of this media is a skateboard magazine that emphasized many photographers and their talents. Twenty years ago, the photos used only cheap old 35 mm, and made some wonderful art shots. However, these older cameras are replaced by top cameras and lenses on behalf of today's photographer. Two major magazines in today's skateboard world are Slasher and Transworld Skateboard magazines.

I entered the photo shoot with a skateboard. There are so many talented artists involved in skateboarding and whenever they see working in magazines and skateboards it will affect me. My brother also took a black and white photography class at a high school, and his picture of the class always took my attention. This process itself is what I appreciate all the time. It became increasingly outdated and I felt it was more special. Digital photos seem to have bothered me really. It is not that you can not make a good digital work, but the simulation process has more souls. What I am doing with movies can never be digital. You can digitally manipulate photos to look like me. You can improve the appearance of the photo, but the process is different. In addition, the overall appearance of the movie will be better. Light and texture, or something like that

BG: Skateboards have had various effects on my work. First of all, I entered photography through a skateboard. I came to trick with my friends, but as time goes on, this will be a journey to the scene, the result of bailouts, or everyone will go out to play. Then I was filming everything around. Another idea is to use things around you in a creative way and to think the world as a creative challenge, that is to say skills used to do something rather than going up and down as usual It is to change. This is reflected in the street photograph which chose the side which can be used for creative from the scenery of the city, but in the photograph, the image including the story was created with the camera.

After leaving so many achievements on skateboarding, Saari is still skating, but I am focusing on photography. Like skateboarding, his will and creativity made him a respected photographer in the world of skateboarding, and now he is also expanding beyond this sport. I caught up with his opening in London on the eve of his photo exhibition - agreed with the premiere of Volckom's St. Stokes skateboarding video sponsored by his clothing - talking about his recent project and photos
