Artist Profile--Atiba Jefferson

-He originally focused on skateboard photography, and later branched out to other sports after he became notorious in the skateboarding culture.

-He has been a photographer for fifteen years after high school, and was the main administrator for "The Skateboard Mag"--a staple in the skateboard community.

-Atiba prides himself in his skateboard photography because timing is essential, there is only one moment when the photo is perfect, and you have to nail it.

-Skateboard photography is also a struggle because he works for the skaters, not the other way around. So it is a combination of skill, timing, and commitment--just like skateboarding itself.
