^ Micah Yeager – photo : Dan Busta

quoting Dan Busta :

Rollerblade photography is a division of photography not often explored by many photographers.

Within my eight years of shooting inline, I have seen the most famous and the most undiscovered skaters at their top level, pushing the human body to its most extreme limits.

This photography mends studio, location, architecture, sport and fashion. This combination makes a distinguished style image showing each skaters actions in its best form.
