Setback to Skate
A Story of Sport, Community & Photography

Freelance photography is an unpredictable game, full of creative highs, unexpected challenges, and the constant push to innovate. When a client let me down, frustration kicked in. But instead of letting the moment slip away, I grabbed my camera and followed the light.

Skating has always fascinated me, its raw energy, the unspoken camaraderie, the relentless pursuit of progress. That day, in a London park, I found a new story waiting to be told. No agenda. No expectations. Just the freedom to capture movement, community, and emotion in its purest form.

In sport and photography alike, adaptability is key. The best shots often come from embracing the unexpected, leaning into uncertainty, and finding beauty in the moment. This series is a reminder that creativity thrives when we let go, because when life hands you lemons, sometimes the light is too good to waste!
