When you think of Atiba Jefferson, you think of the best skateboard photographers of all-time. He has captured some of the most iconic and memorable moments in skateboarding, while making them look flawless. Maybe I was just a little too focused or uneducated? Little did I know, he has worked with some of the biggest non-skateboarding brands in the world (Pepsi, ESPN, Adidas, and Nike ...too name a few). As well as, some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment (Kanye West, Lebron James, Shaun White, Eric Koston, Reggie Bush, and Snoop Dogg... too name a few). I find it mind boggling: that he finds enough time to share his art with so many different audiences. Still being the best at whatever he does, he is a natural behind the lens.
Not only does he spend time doing photography, some of his down time is spent skating and playing in The Goat & The Occasional Others. Check out some of my favorites:
Andrew Reynolds// Frontside Flip// Vancouver "Go Skateboarding Day" 2009
This is probably one of my all time favorite skate photo's. Two beasts doing what they do best.
Paul Rodriguez Jr.
Basically the Michael Jordan of skateboarding. Have you seen his Plan B part?!
Allen Iverson// The Pursuit Of Happiness // SLAM Magazine Issue #107
I actually have had this in my bedroom for three and a half years now, I was a huge Allen Iverson fan. I used to get a subscription to the magazine every year, I did not know Atiba took the photo.
Kanye West
Lupe Fiasco
This is rad. I think this was around when 'Food & Liquor' was released. Before he became a household name.
Hollywood Fires
I want this in a frame.
Lake
Love the colours.
Fans in the desert
I was in Palm Springs in the summer, and there were a ridiculous amount of these.
This could be a movie poster or album art. So dope.
