Nike SB Fluff Book Competition
Eighteen months in the making, 117 Nike SB European riders, and one photographer (Marcel Veldman). 'Fluff' is finally with us and it was well worth the wait!
This book is epic, it's definitely the best skate photo book i've seen, dare i say the best skate book ever made? I was surprised and chuffed to find that it was 90% legit skate photos, and seeing that the book is 610 pages, that's a lot of skate photos. I also can't get over the size and weight of this thing, you could seriously pan a window in with it.
So here's the good news, we have 2 copies up for grabs. I love a good competition so guess what? This is what's happening, two seperate photography comps.
The first comp is a skateboard photography one. Send me your best skate photo, digital, film, polaroid, it doesn't matter, anything goes.
1st place is a copy of the book and some Nike SB goodies
2nd place gets some Nike SB goodies and a Focus t-shirt.
The second is a general photography comp. It can be anything, portrait, lifestyle, candid, whatever. It doesn't even have to be skate related, it just has to be good.
1st place is a copy of the book and some Nike SB goodies
2nd place gets some Nike SB goodies and a Focus t-shirt.
Send all entries to info@focuspocus.co.uk (don't forget to add your name, address and contact details)
It's one photo per entry so make it count!
Here's a quick look at some photos from the book, i still can't get over how good this is.
Focus team rider Colin Kennedy with an impressive quadruple page spead. Stoked!
There's so much skate photography in this book it's a joke, these photos are just a little taste of what else there is.
The close date for the competition is the 10th of March. This gives you plenty of time to get an entry in.
