As a skateboard photographer I can tell you that shooting photos of a contest is not something we particularly look forward to. There are a number of ways you can get a good skateboard photo without having to deal with the challenge of shooting photos in a crowd, competing for position with other photographers in a limited space. The good thing about contests is the high energy level. People make themselves do amazing things sometimes, when they’re given a limited time frame and just a few tries: lots of different skaters, great runs, last minute tricks… With a little luck your photography can capture some of that.

An event, like the Exposure, an all girl contest that happened last Saturday in San Diego, can be a good choice too. It brings a good level of girl skateboarding without the hassle of shooting photos in a corporate, mega event. This contest was bigger than last year and was featured on television.  To find out more about Exposure, go to:  http://exposureskate.org/     and     https://www.facebook.com/EXPOSUREskate?directed_target_id=0   To see some of what happened during the contest, check out the photos below. - Dan Bourqui
