Skate photography
Skate photography or skateboarding photography is the act of photographing skateboarding. Skate photography has been an integral part of skateboarding since its inception, used as a way to document and share the skateboarding tricks performed by skateboarders.History
In 1965, LIFE magazine featured an article on skateboarding featuring photographs of skateboarders in Central Park taken by Bill Eppridge. In the early days of skate photography, magazines were a primary way skate photography was disseminated via skate magazine, zines, and write-ups in mainstream media. The advent of the internet slowly eroded away at skate magazines' dominance of skate photo dissemination. Photo and video sharing social media, such as youtube, twitter, and instagram; in addition to self published sites such as Crailtap, altered the landscape of skate photography. In March 2019, the print edition of Transworld magazine was discontinued and Thrasher stood as the last remaining in print skate magazine.
