Tobin Yellend

You can’t do a retrospective magazine without looking back to hallmarkers of an entire culture and in this case, Tobin Yelland. Getting a picture in a skate magazine is often a mark of success and pride, equal parts for the skater as it is the photographer and Tobin has been doing that since he was fifteen. Having burst into the game when skating was neither cool nor significant, Tobin’s panache for capturing skaters in some of their most iconic moments as well as the unscripted ones solidified him as one of the most respected and important skate photographers we know. A soft spoken talent who just liked skating and decided to build a life around it.
