I’m really happy that I got around to starting the Skateboard Photography area (yeah, I’ll stop saying it sometime soon probably…) as it really has opened a new channel of information coming from people capturing special moments of skateboarding in a picture. What I would like to know from all of you is who in your opinion belongs to the best skateboard photographers around - just anywhere. I came across a discussion on Flickr (Famous skateboard photographers discussion on Flickr) started by Allan Schmidt (who got the Featured Pic of The Day April 18th by the way right here on Europeskate) in which names of and opinions about photographers were coming in from around the globe.

Names like Glen Friedmann, Fred Mortagne, Grant Brittain, Atiba Jefferson, Bryce Kanights, Joe Brook, Skin, Mark Whiteley and many more were dropped and I would like to continue this conversation right here on Europeskate. Let me and everybody else know who your favorite photographer’s are and most importantly why. Write your comments, let us hear what you think!

Hi everyone,
as I said before on Flickr, I like Atiba Jefferson´s stuff. I know he overprocesses some images but I think that´s getting more and more his signature, his peculiarity.
I like Reda´s shots as well and this guy from Flickr right here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryanallan/

Cheers

One of the hottest up and coming skate photographers is smash13, shooting unusual angles and awesome post processing, some of the sickest stuff i have seen in a long time, check out these photos from Feb. on their Flickr account

Atiba Jefferson’s photos are awsome! the new éS ad with Danny Garcia is the shit!!! Just love it! How did he shoot that?
If you’re talking about european photographers, it’s defenetly Soerfi Schweingruber from Switzerland.

I remember there was a Canadian guy on Bastian Ehl\\\’s first skate-photog webcommunity… Ryan… Ryan… Fuck, can\\\’t remember his last name. That guy had not one single weak photo on his profile—amazing stuff only. But I never saw his stuff in international magazines, for some weird reason.
