| Over the past decade, Adam Wallacavage has photographed several important artists of our time including Barry McGee and Rebecca Westcott, shot great underground bands and captured amazing moments in the evolution of the art collective underground in the US most notably Space 1026 in Philadelphia, PA and Fort Thunder in Providence, RI. His photos are all informed by the colorful and dynamic style he developed as a skateboard photographer. |
| “ |
Shooting for skateboard magazines was the best education
in photography I could ever have had, that and working at a
one hour photo lab. I learned to set up lights and shoot in
dangerous and illegal situations fast, so that I could get out
before security guards or cops showed up to bust us for
|
| skateboarding.” |
— A.Wallacavage |
