A unique photo series, supported by the Getty Images Show Us Grant, shining the light on the real faces of female and non-binary skateboarders, empowering them to tell their stories and show us what skateboarding means to them. The use of pictures, how they are captioned or aimed to be perceived will be controlled through the Olympics, and for many, skateboarding will be seen for the first time on this platform. “To Balance is Trust” will intercept this competitive controlled vision to put it back in the hands of the people who skate through portraits and stories.
“To Balance is Trust” aims to enlarge the visibility of the niche and underground side of this subculture, which exists all around the world, from South Korea to Scotland. By doing this, as a photographer, I aim to champion these inspirational, underexposed skateboarders as role models for people to be inspired by and society to learn from.
