Vans Vision Walk returns with its next iteration this coming Saturday on the 21st of July, this time bringing more fast paced shooting action with renowned skate photographer, Mohamed Azim Nong, or more affectionally known as Ajiem Serr.
Ajiem is what you can call a veteran in the scene. Having no less than 13 years experience of skateboarding photography, there’s very little that his camera has not yet captured when it comes to encompassing the scene here in it’s entirety. So much in fact, that he compiled his best shots in a book called “Another Day To The Streets: Malaysian Skateboarding Through The Lens,” which had public viewing at White Box, Publika last month to exciting reception.
Much like motorsport photography, skating photography is a very different genre than what most people are used to. The photographer needs to be on their feet, tapping into their creativity on the fly and always ready to capture the perfect shot of often fast moving subjects. To Ajiem, it’s a fun challenge that he’s perfected over the decade of solely documenting the scene.
Patience, is the name of the game, so stay tuned for the follow up where we go and tryout skate photography for ourselves!
