“Skateboarding Has Taught Me Two Things – That Symbolize A Meaning Of Life. How To Keep A Balance And How To Pick Yourself Up When You’ve Fallen. ”
-Nikki Rowe
Well, This Was A First For Us! A High School Senior That LOVES To Skateboard! Evan Comes From Washington Township High School in Sewell, New Jersey. Evan Spends His Days Off At The Only Place That Clears His Mind, The Skate Park. If He Isn’t Hanging Out With Friends At The Skate Park, Evan Is Down The Shore At His Grandparents Shore House. He Is Always Been Active And Likes To Do Anything That Includes Being Outdoors (Fishing And Camping Are His Go- To’s). He Is Always Surrounded By Friends And Is The Life Of The Party! Evan Came To Our Studio Because He Saw Our Work On Social Media And Thought It Would Be Interesting In Combining Skateboarding With Amazing Graphics!
Now, Let’s Go Back To The Shoot! Of Course, We Start With The Cap And Gown, Also Known As The Most Tedious Photo That Any High School Senior Will Take. We Want To Make Sure The Photo Is Perfect With No Flaws! After This Traditional Photo Was Done, We Got Ready For The “Senior Experience” Photoshoot For Evan. Evan Most Certainly Bought His Skater “California Style” for his Shoot. Bringing A Combination Of Retro And Bright Colored Style Of Clothing. But, When We Saw A Black Colored Rhinestone Tux, We Were All Amazed! We Were Also Shocked Because We Knew Evan Was A Skater, But We Didn’t Know He Had A Bit Of “Cover Of GQ Men Magazine” In Him. Our Photographer Brian Knew We Had To Start With The Tux First! It Looked So Clean And Put Together On Evan.
Soon After, We Took Some Shots Inside The Studio With One Of His Favorite Skateboards.
Adding Some Cool Smoke In The Background, Really Took His Images To The Next Level. After, We Headed Outside To Take What We Like To Call The “Mom Pictures” AKA The Photos That Make Mom Cry Because Her Child Is Smiling And About To Graduate From High School :). Finally, With The Last Look Of The Day, We Tried Something That Made Evan’s Photos Literally Catch On Fire. We Taped Two Smoke Bombs Under The Skateboard And… You Can Clearly See What Happens Next If You Watch The Video Below!
Thank You To Evan And Mom For Choosing Get Shot By Brian!
We Were Able To Capture The Skateboard Fire In This Video 🙂
