Skateboarding has been a staple at Venice Beach CA since the 1970s, when the area became a destination for skateboarders due to its wide-open streets and abundance of empty swimming pools with curved edges. The construction of the Venice Skatepark in 2009, featuring massive concrete bowls and half-pipes, only added to its popularity. Each photograph in my series offers a unique perspective on skateboarding, showcasing the skaters defying gravity and seamlessly maneuvering through the light and shadows of the concrete terrain.
