Tombow does an over tooth on a street spot that street dreams are made of.

I was scouring my hard drives looking for some images for an upcoming project and I stumbled upon a folder from this day I spent with the Peepgame Posse. I’ve been been hanging out with Steve and these kids since 2016. They ride BMX almost every Sunday religiously and it is always a good time. I’ll be making a more in depth post about these times, but that’s for another time.

Steve hit me up the day before to see if I wanted to shoot a photo with Tombow for an Animal ad. I love little missions like this, and since I was borrowing a pair of ProFoto flashes (shout out Buddy Bleckley) I happily obliged. The afternoon started off at Diamond Park in East LA. I actually love this park, and ended up making a few photos of the homies with natural light. You can’t beat just having a camera bag and some quality talent in front of your lens.

After a nice warm up session, a few spliffs, and a lot of laughs we made our way to this little hidden gem in El Sereno. I’ve never been to the spot, but once I saw it I knew it was going to make a great photo. Tombow is one of my favorite riders to photograph. He is creative and usually handles business in a few tries. The overtooth is one of my favorite tricks and this spot called for it. I set up the strobes and realized I didn’t have any reflectors. However the ProFoto didn’t disappoint and worked out great. Shout out to Peepgame and Steve for always having me out. Love you guys <3

I preferred the long lens version of this, but since we had a few tries I had to snap a few on the fish.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to check this out. I’ll be doing more regular updates now that I am out of splint and on the road to the recovery from a broken elbow! If you’re a shooter get out there and make pictures! If anything else get out there and kick it with your friends!

“Flash” Back Friday.

The Beginning…
