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..'

The kind of music that will drown and absorb you just through listening is pretty much anything to do with Jack White. One of his side projects, The Raconteurs offers up the goods with 'Salute Your Solution'.
It's time for a full playlist to kick start the weekend, and this one is filled with non-stop bangers. Terry Gilliam's adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's, 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', has become a cult classic that is visually incredible and the soundtrack is filled with killer songs from the 60's and 70's, plus Vegas style classics that make this a fun ride.
It's 2am, feeling alright, just getting started tonight...A bit of no-frills garage rock from LA based band, The Black Tibetans, is giving us those Friday feels in 'You're Cold'.
