Documenting Your Extreme Life

Find out all about communicating and representing skate/surf culture visually.

How do you get those shots? What matters most to professional talent scouts—photographic stills or video footage? You'll spend the week getting answers to questions like those from Cory Ryan, an expert skateboarder and digital photographer. You'll work in a group and individually to develop your "brand" and look, in addition to trying cutting-edge photographic techniques so new you'll be the first among your friends to even know about them. In this class, lifestyle and art intersect—and your skateboard is welcome to take the class with you, free of charge.
