Artist Research (Sagan Lockheart)

Sagan Lockheart

Sagan Lockheart is a photographer situated in Los Angeles. He specialises in documentary style photography. Working closely with OFWGKTA he has captured some of there most famous images.  He uses film for most of his images, giving them a warm and at times gritty feel.
Sagan shows a vast array of things in his work but they majorly centre around young people living in L.A. He show parties, music events, everyday life and the element I am focusing on Skateboarding. Sagan is close friend with such professional skateboarders as Nakel Smith and Young Kevin,  so capturing such impressive images is a part of his life. I love his style of snap shot, non of his image look staged even if they are taken on a pre determined he has a certain organised madness in his image that I really enjoy.
 His shots next to the cut out of the hollywood sign have given me the idea to get some of my images from a distance, not only showing the skater in the image but another point of interest  e.g. the skater grinding on the bench next to the hollywood sign. This shows two points of interest.






I am using Sagan Lockheart as one of the artist researches for skate action shots.
