“Skateboarding has taken me to many places and people with whom I share this sporting passion. The local skateboarding scene is very particular. I have met many people and lived many stories. Over the years, a solid and diverse community has evolved, to which I feel proud to belong and to have seen part of the story told before my eyes” – says Christopher Ricardo Blandino.
Blandino has captured the most prominent skateboarders in the country from the 1970s to the 2000s, who have become legends and continue to inspire current and future generations.
“The Faces of Skate” is a photographic collection that documents the last two decades of the local skateboarding scene. The editor and photographer better known as Blandino, collaborated with Maary Cordero which art directed and was also in charge of museography for the project.
