Bjorn Johnston
The professional skater has another weapon of choice: The camera.

March 2, 2016

Entering his first skate contest at just 11 years of age, Bjorn Johnston has spent over two decades as one of the region’s most renowned board-riders. He’s traveled across the globe to compete with the support of brands like Kr3w and Element, and has documented his adventures with another weapon of choice: His camera.

While his parents used to drive him across the country so he could skate to his heart’s content, it was also his father who introduced him to photography – and Bjorn even ended up adopting his Olympus OM-1 35mm SLR. From then on he’s kept a camera by his side, and now he presents us with some of his favourite selects for this week’s edition of Frames. There’s a solid mix of mates, skate spots and babes, so he’s got all the most important bases covered!
