| Mark Whiteley, long-time editor at SLAP skateboard magazine (widely recognized in skate and related culture circles as both an extremely progressive and soulful outlet with heavy art influence) and has put together this collection of his photographs taken over the last decade. Broken down into sections of portraits, music, and street / travel / snapshots (with a few skate action shots as well), This Is Not A Photo Opportunity is full of images that form a personal narrative of Whiteley’s life at the intersection of several vibrant cultures. Intimate behind-the-scenes shots, glossy studio portraits, blood, sweat and tears moments, skateboards, motorcycles, shotguns, tattoos, flowers, umbrellas, weddings, streets, stages, hard looks, soft smiles, bedrooms, parking lots, rooftops, sidewalks, legends and unknowns all combine to chronicle Whiteley’s vision of skateboarding, music and art. Featuring the likes of Mark Gonzales, Cat Power, Thomas Campbell, Jason Jessee, Twist, Chris Johanson, Ghostface, and Jamie Thomas, and shot everywhere from Alaska to Brazil to Japan to Ireland and home to California. |
| Exhibitions: SLAP mag 15 year anniversary group show (OnSix Gallery, San Francisco, 2007); Three From San Jose (three-man show at No. 12 Gallery, Tokyo 2006); Deconstruct book group show (traveled through Europe, 2002) |
| Publications: Photos have appeared in Juxtapoz, Mass Appeal, Thrasher, San Francisco Chronicle and more. |
| Approach: "The main goal I have with my photography is to capture and project the feeling or mood I sense in the person, event or place at hand, to visually amplify the emotional output I felt from or saw in the subject. Sort of a stylized documentary approach." |
