Jean-Marc Johannes, Switch 180 off Loading Dock, Cape Town, South Africa
I prefer shooting skateboarding images once the ambient light has dropped to this level, Just before sunset or just before sunrise. Nice and soft sun light enhanced by flash to freeze the action.

Magazine quality Gerhard. Sensational photo.

Thank You Bill. Here in South Africa the publishing politics with our local skateboarding media sometimes obstructs the good ones from seeing ink. This however does not deter me from getting out there and collaborating with athletes/artists like this guy to depict the adventures which is street skating. It’s always fun to find virgin photogenic locations like this. Blank canvases for the skateboarders and myself to express our selves.

The shadows look like freeze frames that are a continuation of the motion. Much like a series of photos in a magazine to illustrate the break down of a trick.
cool shot…
