“I’m super honored to be a part of the Leica Gallery LA show, and excited to see my friends’ images together – multi-generations of skateboard photographers condensed into one amazing exhibit,” said Brook, who has traveled the world on skateboarding teams, Leica forever in hand. “Thomas [Campbell] and Tobin [Yelland] were big influences on me when I first started shooting. Thomas mentored me in photography while he was at Skateboarder Magazine, Tobin’s raw shooting style has always inspired me, and the rest of the guys are such incredible photographers through and through.”
Among the other artists participating in the show are Arto Saari, Thrasher Magazine’s Skater of Year in 2001 and Flip Skateboards video part in “Sorry”; Ed Templeton, a two-time world-champion professional skateboarder with more than 10 published books of his photography; and Jerry Hsu, a highly acclaimed professional skateboarder and photographer whose work has been exhibited in LA, NYC, Milan, Tokyo and Stockholm.
