Ryder; Sydney

Ryder Lawson is a skater from Oz who has superstar written all over him.  He may only be 16 but
he's already part of the Australian Red Bull skate team, has a shoe deal with Globe, clothing deal with Hurley, and is part of some skate groups with serious cred like Flip in the US.   Needless to say, he's not on his way to becoming a great skater, he is already one!
Ryder was helping with some skate filming I was doing in Sydney, and kindly took the time to pose for these shots.
He's wearing some Globe Skate Shoe's in the form of the Mark Appleyard designed 'Mahalo', a Pro skate shoe that was designed by skater Mark Appleyard to look great, and also skate well.  Apparently the shoe is also designed to represent the 'Aloha' spirit and a cool island vibe.  I'm not so sure about that, as all I could see was Ryder shredding up the city, something he will continue to do around the world as his star continues to shine.

JC; Sydney

As many of you know I come from a TV Production background, and still to this day juggle shooting my urban style photography/videography with Producing and Writing shows.
I've just started work with a new production company for a show that will be going to air later this year, and it didn't take long for me to have the pleasure of meeting JC (in the above pics).  
Unfortunately this colourful character will be leaving soon, so I had to be quick acting to get these shots of one of the sharpest and smartest technology whizzes I have ever met.
He also knows a thing or too about what he wants from sneakers as he's an ardent Globe fan, with a collection of 5 pairs from a brand that he's ardently committed to.  The above Gold Cup pair are well worn and well loved after 10 years in his collection, but still have what it takes to keep him equipped for whatever a day in the TV game can throw at him.
JC - all the best for whatever the future throws at you!
