Through The Lens: A Different Perspective
As a photographer I am always searching out ways to set myself apart and create content that people will be into. It’s one of the biggest challenges as a photographer and one of the hardest parts about it to be honest. Especially these days when everyone has a camera of some sort with them on a regular basis whether it be a digi-cam or an iphone and life is being documented by the minute. It’s a mix of doing what makes you happy and trying to figure out what will make viewers happy as well. That’s where this new “A different perspective” idea came from. Over the years I have interviewed tons of pro riders about anything and everything except one important topic. What is it like from their perspective to go out and shoot with a photographer? What it is that makes one person better to shoot with than others? I have always wondered about what goes on inside a riders mind before they prepare to shoot a crazy banger and put all of their trust into the photographer. I linked up with a few of my personal favorite riders at X Games and asked them to let me snap a shot of them for my $5 Kodak for a future project I was working on. Well, to be honest at the time I didn’t know what I was going to use the photos for but after some brainstorming it became obvious that the photos would be a perfect way to introduce this feature. See what Drew Bezanson, Dennis Enarson and Brian Kachinsky all had to say for the first edition of “A different perspective.”

“Perhaps the best thing about something like BMX is that your relationship with it can really be whatever you’d like it to be. BMX is there, and we can mould ourselves around it, and with heart and dedication in earnest we shape our riding and community through it to be the way we would like them to be. There aren’t any rules.”
