The article highlights a new exhibition dedicated to skate photographer Hugh Holland, who passed away at the age of 82. Holland began documenting skateboarders in Southern California during the 1970s, capturing the raw energy and rebellious spirit of early skate culture. The exhibition features his iconic series 'Angels: Street, Skate, Seventies' and 'Locals Only', showcasing his skillful use of recycled 35mm film. Holland's photographs preserve a fleeting moment in a transformative era, illustrating the grace of young skaters, and now can be viewed both in-person and online until April 11.
The images in Holland's book 'Locals Only' testify to his skill, using recycled 35mm film shot in soft late afternoon sunlight.
Holland first started photographing skateboarders in 1975, capturing the vibrant, free-spirited essence of a burgeoning scene in Southern California.
