Todd Cole, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A skateboarder is captured mid-action leaping over a low metal parking barrier positioned between two parked cars in an urban lot in Los Angeles. The skater wears a dark printed button-down shirt and dark trousers, with arms outstretched for balance and a cigarette dangling from his mouth. The composition is framed horizontally with soft, warm-toned lighting and visible film grain characteristics. Parked vehicles flank the central action on either side, while a weathered concrete curb and asphalt occupy the foreground. This dynamic photograph was captured by photographer and director Todd Cole.
