Los Angeles!
The city of dreams. No other place in the world stands for opportunities like LA. The home of the stars. From Marilyn Monroe to Brad Pitt - Hollywood has always been a symbol of success. Despite this fame and glamour, the strong desire for freedom gave birth to a unique subculture.
Modern skateboarding emerged in the 1970s during a severe drought, when surfers began experimenting with riding skateboards in empty swimming pools. The “Zephyr Skateboarding Team” was formed by local teens and surf shop owners in the Venice Beach and Santa Monica areas. These two beach neighborhoods became known as Dogtown.
Since then, the sport of skateboarding developed into a global trend that became Olympic and inspires a whole generation. Nowadays, global players like “Louis Vuitton” and “Nike” include urban culture in their marketing and designs.
I accompanied the successors of the legendary “Dogtown” skaters for a few months and captured their everyday life in “Venice Beach Skatepark”.
