FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER

Street photography and skateboarding are much alike in many ways. You move around the streets and try and find arrangements of people and things that catch your eye, state your opinion, make you laugh, make you cringe, and make you think. Will Shields is a skater who has been experimenting with cameras ever since a family friend left a digital camera at his New Hampshire home nearly 15 years ago. He is quick on the shutter and has been developing his style and perspective over time.

Daniel Wagner is one of Germany’s busiest and most published skate photographers. What started out as a nerdish desire to document the actions of his friends has evolved to consume Daniel’s whole life. With expert detail to composition and lighting, he is always ready for the next trick and will find the best angle to capture it.

Coburn Huff spent six of the last seven years shooting on his old Nikon F5 analog film camera. This training helped him be selective with his pictures and not walk around, blasting shotgun rounds of photos hoping one comes out good.

Florian “Burny” Hopfensperger is a German photographer that came out to BKK a couple of years ago to shoot an interview with Denny Pham. He immediately fell in love with the city and the convenience and way of life that Bangkok has to offer.

Alonso Leal goes by the name of Chango, which is spanish for Monkey. His mom gave him that nick name and you can actually call her and ask for “the monkey”. He was born in Mexicos capital, grew up in Menterrey and then came back to the big city.
