Photos: Chris Marshall

December 24, 2013

If you keep up with the East Coast scene, or really the Deadline, The Trip or Fiend guys, there’s a good chance you have seen Chris Marshall’s name in a photo credit or ten. Chris is one of the guys that riders like Garrett Reynolds, Ty Morrow and Augie Simoncini trust to get the photo when it counts.
We’ve been seeing his name pop up pretty much everywhere between all of the magazines and different websites and figured it was more than time to get ahold of this guy and find out what he’s all about. We have a damn good Photos: interview that is a great read below along with a PHOTOGALLERY with a few of Chris’ favorite photos for you guys to get stoked on! So let’s get into this and find out just what this guy behind the lens ( and mask?) is all about.
