Mike Blabac has spent over 30 years combining two lifelong passions—skateboarding and photography—into a career. Over decades of travel, he has documented skate culture around the world through his lens.
His work has consistently gravitated toward black and white, drawn to its ability to distill light and motion. He is especially fond of the Leica Monochrom sensor, which closely replicates the way film interprets light. Without color filters in front of the sensor, the tonal range is unlike any other digital camera. Paired with the tack-sharp 28mm Summilux lens, the 60MP files deliver exceptional detail and depth.
