Scooterists! Nothing to do with mods and rockers!

The cool kids are suddenly all about scooters. Not Vespas and Lambrettas like the motorbike scooters of old, but freestyle scooters you can do tricks on.

I was called in to shoot a series of actions shots, portraits of a top scooter rider and how-tos for a pilot of a new magazine, called Scoot Nation. The shoot went well, the magazine went well. And now it’s gone from being a pilot to a full-blown magazine. And it’s been the No1 choice of Xmas present for a whole generation of action sports fans.
