#241 - Aaron Brown: The Timeless Medium of Film Photography.
Manage episode 446921372 series 3160713
Join us as we chat with the charismatic Aaron Brown, whose skateboarding photography defined the Australian scene throughout the 90s and beyond. Discover how Aaron's early skateboarding roots continue to influence his artistic vision, and why he remains devoted to the depth and tonal richness of film photography despite the lure of digital.
Aaron takes us on a nostalgic ride through the skateboarding communities of Sydney's North West, celebrating the camaraderie and creative sparks that shaped his career. He reflects on the evolution of skate photography, contrasting the technical challenges of film with the convenience of digital formats. He reminisces about iconic magazines and photographers who inspired his unique style, how he was able to generate a liveable income from shooting skate photos alone, working for mainstream media companies, and the creative projects he has invested in since.
From capturing legendary skaters like Matt Mumford to winning unexpected photography awards, Aaron’s stories are a testament to the unpredictable yet rewarding nature of life and art.

Enjoy,
Shan
