Lucas Strezos


Click Here for the lipslide 360 shove sequence. I tried to make this small 2 set ledge look as big as possible in this sequence, and with a wide fisheye and a few a quick wrist moves i think i was able to do so. Unlike lucas's other sequence this did not come quick, in fact we got pretty lucky with the natural light, 10 more minutes and I would have needed to use flashes.

this gem of a ledge proves that there's always more to find and skate downtown, you've just got to check enough alleys and parking lots. Lucas flings a quick boardslide pop out, over a sewer and into a hill bomb nonetheless, not that anyones keeping track.

Nollie bs flips are pretty hard to shoot, especially when you working with a set only a few feet wide with a handrail in the way, that being said I would imagine it was probably a few times harder to actually land the trick rather than just ask some friends to hold flashes and press a button. good work joey

This was the first handrail photo I ever shot street, and although the background is overexposed and my skater slightly underexposed, im still pretty happy with it considering it was first try. I had a little too much head room in the original so i cropped a bit out, if i just went closer and pointed further down the rail would have been more bent and gnarly looking. I am very happy with the timing though, which is usually something I suck at. FIRST T

Yet again another trick on this spot that deserves flashes, but I can forgive Griffin for just wanting to barge this spot with no set up, security was watching us through the glass so Griffin managed to commit first try. Hopefully he can forgive me for blowing the first few frames, as I will try to used to this FIRST T business.

Click Here to view the sequence. I blew it pretty bad here. Trying to make the photo look more interesting I used a wide aperture and a deep focal length to isolate joey's kickflip in the focus, instead i focused more around the roll away which made the pop grossly out of focus. Next time I try to get artsy with depth of field, ill shoot beside the skater. Once again I left the spot saying at least I captured the trick, but lesson has been learned and I know I wont blow it this bad again, if anyone even sees this that is!
