John Schell, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This monochrome editorial photograph captured by John Schell in Los Angeles features a male surfer riding a skateboard down the center of an asphalt road. He carries a large surfboard vertically under his right arm while navigating the skateboard with his feet. The scene is shot from a low angle, highlighting the textured road surface with double white dividing lines. Overhead power lines stretch across the clear sky in the background, and a vehicle is parked in the distance on the right. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the strong shadows and graphic elements of the street composition.
