I can remember watching Sean Cowen thrown down in at the AIL competitions when he was just a little grom, competing against all the 18 & ups. These days, Sean has definitely grown into his skates and is skating solid in local comps like the LA All Day, and is coming just as strong on the street. We sessioned SoCal’s Pepperdine University recently, and after a bit of exploring and skating fast rails, David Jones got us kicked out for scratching the new paint on the University’s handrails. This shot was a quick setup on our way out — literally last shot of the day — and Sean only had to go twice before I had my flashes exposed right. I set one flash at the top right of the stairs, aiming down towards Sean, and the other was on-camera and angled up, as to not blowout the ground in front of me. Equipment used: Nikon Speedlight SB-900 off-camera, Nikon Speedlight SB-800 on-camera, Nikon D300 DSLR and a Nikkor 10.5mm Fisheye lens. — Scott Moffat
