Back Light: Ben Karpinski

Back Light is our regular showcase of the best photography skateboarding has to offer. We make the rounds to all best lensmen in the industry and scour their hard drives for photographic gold. Back Light's purpose is to make skateboarding look rad, plain and simple. Whether it's a heavy trick, an epic sunset or just a stylish push, if it looks good you will find it in Back Light. Enjoy.

This edition of Backlight comes from the hands (and lens) our friend from Long Beach, Ben Karpinski. Ben manages to somehow be everywhere at once and shoots with everyone who steps foot in his city. From Toy Machine to Element to Flip, Ben has a killer line up of homies in this gallery and, like always, his photographic skills do not disappoint.
