Artist research – Bryce Kanights

Personal Project, Uncategorised, Visual and Contexual Research

Bryce Kanights shot his first photographs as a teenage skateboarder on the urban streets of San Francisco. Sparked since those days of his youth, BK’s passion, deep-seated involvement, creative mindset and trained eye has captured several generations of youth culture and helped to shape the revolution of board sports in the process. Bryce continues to produce images and bodies of work that are well crafted and acutely reflective of the world around him.

He first began delving into photography as a teenager when he started documenting the different skate scenes in San Francisco. After having several photos published in magazines such as Thrasher and Transworld, he continued to shoot professionals for a range of different companies. 

His photography really gets spot out of the crowd. I really like the photo underneath of the movement being caught by using shutter speed. It’s as if he is the motion, he is slowly turning into the trick he is performing. Looks like Bryce used double exposure and used a digital colour camera.
