Luke Paige is a photographer based in Slovenia who wanted to create something different to what we’re used to seeing in skateboard photography. No wide-angle shots, no special tricks – just simple skateboarding. Shot with Slovenian skateboarder Rok Dragan on different locations around Slovenia, Luke uses contrast between light and dark to direct the viewer across the image.
Luke gives some insight into his creative mind:
'..The main concept of the project was to play with geometric lines and depth of field using different compositions. Using the skateboarder as an element can sometimes create an illusion..'
'..The shoot was not about sick tricks; it was all about creating something simple and unique using architecture as part of it. I have always wanted to try shooting something like this, but never really got a complete idea what I wanted to do until now..'
There is just something amazing about all these lines coming together from different angles. I wanted to create something different to what we’re used to seeing in skateboard photography..'
