For photographer and art director Christopher Dormoy, combining electric skateboarding and futuristic photography editing evokes the same feelings he enjoys during his rides -- freedom and excitement.

I am a Canon Ambassador and I had the chance to test the new Canon EOS R5 (pre-production model) that we have all been anticipating for such a long time. This is not a review of the camera, but I wanted to share some of the most important settings and show you some real-life samples I was able to shoot that week.

Illustrator Rob Mathieson has a dog named Fatman the Dog with some impressive camera skills. With a camera mounted to his back, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier captures great footage of skateboarders doing their thing.

If you don't play with your food, it'll just have to go play by itself! That seems to be the message behind photographer Benoit Jammes' fun photo series Skitchen, which features all sorts of fruits and veggies bustin' sick skateboarding moves all around the kitchen.

Here's a 3-minute skate video that has an usual perspective: it was shot through the waist-level viewfinder of a Mamiya RB67 medium format SLR camera.

Skateistan is a non-profit organization that seeks to connect youth to education by first introducing them to skateboarding. After hearing that a large percentage of the participants in Kabul, Afghanistan, are girls, photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson decided to shoot portraits that show how the sport is empowering young Afghan girls in a country where girls are generally forbidden from even riding bikes.

Her project, titled "Skate Girls of Kabul," is now receiving a great deal of attention around the world.

An incredible short film series is coming to life thanks to the production prowess of Helio Collective and iconic camera brand Leica. Called "Let Us Roam," the series tells the stories of photographers, artist, filmmakers and musicians, all within the subculture of skateboarding.

Adventure Sports Photography often doesn't get a lot of attention in the photography world. While street, portrait, and wedding photography seem to reign supreme, this small genre is usually only appreciated in the respective sports it covers.

Which is really quite sad since it showcases some of the most amazing photographers working today. Not only are they able to compose and capture stunning shots, but they often do so in the worst conditions imaginable.

Last month, we featured the life and work of Arto Saari, a legendary professional skateboarder who has turned into quite the skateboarding photographer in recent years.

Fabiano Rodrigues is very similar. The Sao Paulo, Brazil-based skateboarder and photographer has a fantastic eye for composition -- particularly when it comes to shooting self portraits.

There's just something about skateboarding that attracts photographers and videographers. Whether they're traveling the world photographing crazy tricks in exotic places, or shooting 1000 fps footage of tricks that haven't even been named, camera junkies are always finding new and interesting ways to capture the sport.

Sebastian Linda's newest video does just that. By using high-speed cameras, some creative camera movements and colored powder, he's managed to create a magical skateboarding world through the lens of his camera.

Taking high-quality, magazine-worthy skateboarding photos doesn't have to involve you carting around tons of gear. Sure, it might be nice to have the lighting power, but as photographer Matt Price shows you in the How To video above, you can still get great results with only what'll fit in an average camera bag.

Arto Saari is one of professional skateboarding's legends, but Saari has another passion as well: photography. In the video above, Oakley takes us behind the scenes on Saari's first skateboarding trip where he was hired specifically to take photos of people doing gnarly tricks, instead of performing them himself.

It started with a trip to Hong Kong. That's what got skateboard photographer Jonathan Mehring hooked on travelling. But while there are a lot of photographers that travel the world capturing different cultures, Mehring was more interested in answering the question: "is it even possible to skate some of these places?"

This short interview was put together by The Photographer Series, a site by multimedia storyteller Andrew Norton that dedicates itself to telling the stories behind some of skateboarding's coolest images -- and Mehring has captured some awesome images.

Denver, Colorado-based action, adventure, and lifestyle photographer Dave Lehl recently wanted to do something a little different with skateboarding photography, and ended up settling on the idea of using fireworks to add extra action to the shots.

San Francisco-based street photographer Travis Jensen has made a name for himself capturing candid shots, many of them in the rough Tenderloin neighborhood in downtown San Francisco. In this video from KAYO TV, he explains his love of street photography and the city that has become his adopted home.

San Diego-based light-painting photographer Darren Pearson has a knack for drawing elaborate illustrations in mid-air using light. He frequently draws skeletons into his long-exposure photos, and recently created a series of photos showing a skateboarding skeleton.
