Konsept 01 - Byron Rhoda
Thursday 20 November 2014 This is a short portrait on a local skater, Byron Rhoda. I plan to make many more of these short profiles of the local skateboarders. Just as each skater has his/her own style so should each portrait have it's own individual treatment, theme and style. Some with story and some just pure skating. The need also to make these short profiles are to help local skateboarders with a short promo piece to showcase their own style and skills, something short stylish and punchy. Because, as we know, promotion and support on a financial basis is next to non-existent for skaters in SA, compared to Europe and the US that is. Although this is the product of asking a hell of a lot of favours and partly self-funded, physical production budgets are hard to come by, so actual support to get gear for more shoots would help loads to carry this idea forward. .
