Skater: Portraits by Nikki Toole
After 3 years of shooting, the Skater Project is now on show at The National Portrait Gallery from February 16th until May 2nd 2012.
Since July 2009 Nikki Toole has been making photographic portraits of skateboarders around the world. Her subjects are photographed in the spaces they inhabit, captured in still frontal pose against the textured backdrop of the urban environment or in landscapes at the edge of cities. Toole's portrait project is driven by the desire to understand and commune with her subjects. She is interested in the forces of identity that define the lone skateboarder. 'Many skaters speak of a solitary mind space while skating; of entering into another state of consciousness' Toole says. 'To make these portraits I asked the skaters to place themselves within this meditative space.'
