Scott Pommier è un fotografo professionista indipendente di Vancouver. Ha cominciato a scattare foto da piccolo con la reflex di sua madre riprendendo i suoi amici skateboarders in azione. Oggi è un artista affermato che ha pubblicato numerosi lavori di successo in ambito editoriale e commerciale molti dei quali a tema motociclistico custom e vintage. Ha detto: “I bought a copy of LIFE magazine from 1968 and it looked like it could have all been shot by the same photographer. Even the ads. I like that era.” Vi propongo una selezione di sue foto (che non sono le sue prime all'Inazuma Cafè) e qualche notizia su di lui...



From the "Little Sara" series

Tutto è iniziato facendo skateboard, sviluppando così le qualità poprie del fotografo sportivo: la capacità di mettere a fuoco e scattare rapidamente un soggetto in movimento, anticipando quello che accadrà in modo da immortalarlo esattamente nel momento e nel luogo che ti interessa. Dice Scott: “If you’re a skateboarder, it really shapes you: I just can’t imagine my life without all the experiences that went along with starting to skateboard. It’s like to imagine what your life would have been like, if you lived in the 19th century”.




From the "Chasing Thunder" series

A causa di un infortunio Scott è stato costretto a seguire per un po' i suoi amici passivamente, e ha cominciato così a scattarne le foto. I suoi primi lavori infatti sono stati per la rivista canadese di skateboard “Vehicle”. “I didn’t think of myself as real photographer, because my motivation for getting good was that I wanted to be able to capture action the way I had seen it captured in skateboarding magazines. You also have to capture what a sport photographer would call the peak action.” Not too early, not too late. You have to catch that single moment in the timeline; if you miss it, you’ll lose and nobody will buy your picture. I try to be ready for the fleeting moments. You miss them all the time, but that’s a part of it. There are always more to come”.

  1. The above images are all cool-looking! The subject of this photoshoot is really awesome! Even though the woman is just riding a motor, she still looks sophisticated and elegant.
