J. Grant Brittain. Profession: Skate photographer
« on: April 15, 2016, 07:51:47 PM »
Some of you might remember the old days of the Transworld Skateboarding magazine.
This magazine was always awesome with fantastic photography. And guess what, most of it was from this man.
J. Grant Brittain was one of the founding fathers of the magazine and also sat on the chairs of the photographer and photo editor.
Here's his website http://www.jgrantbrittain.com/

Just check out the pictures. His site uses a weird horizontal scroller but it's definitely worth the look

He rocks... There is a sick one he took of a skater from above doing a frontside air out a bowl and the crazy shadow below him...

And some of his best ones are not even on his site!
I'm quite fond of this one

I just love the shadow, and skater placement...
