Neil Favila, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This black and white image features a person with curly hair and a mustache skateboarding on a textured asphalt surface. The subject is wearing light-coloured overalls over a white t-shirt, with their arms raised as they balance on the board. Sweeping circular tire tracks are visible across the pavement around the skateboarder, creating dynamic curved lines in the frame. Strong overhead lighting casts sharp shadows, emphasizing the rough texture of the ground and the figure's stance. The high-contrast monochromatic grading enhances the grainy, documentary quality of the shot captured by photographer and director Neil Favila.
