I began photographing friends skating down at Southbank in the late 90s. In 2002 I was invited to become a team rider for Gallaz and Carhatt and it was through Gallaz that I really got into skate photography, taking pictures of the other riders for marketing and publications.\u00a0In the\u00a0late\u00a0noughties\u00a0I became a regular contributor to Cooler Magazine\u00a0capturing images of the UK female scene as well as shooting female riders further afield around the globe.\u00a0I have been commissioned to photograph for a variety of\u00a0national and international magazines\u00a0as well as\u00a0being the monthly Nike London Ladies Night photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">My images have featured in over a dozen skate exhibitions&nbsp;(UK, USA, DEN, AUS) and also used in other ways; from promoting female riders in the X-Games with ESPN to highlighting women\u2019s skating involvement on the Southbank throughout the Long Live Southbank Campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">After my experience with Gallaz, in 2005 I set up the first all female UK skate team:\u00a0Rogue Skateboards. The idea was to promote and raise awareness of female riders who at the time were only receiving very limited coverage.\u00a0After breaking\u00a0my\u00a0ankle in 2008\u00a0I decided to turn\u00a0my attention to film making, creating\u00a0and producing the first European female skate film\u00a0\u2018As If, And What?\u2019 After getting the bug for it I went on to make two other films; \u2018Days Like These\u2019 (2015) and a short documentary; \u2018Scratch the Surface\u2019 (2017), which took Best Film Award at Shextreme Film Festival in the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Please contact me on:<\/strong><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:mail@jennaselby.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">mail@jennaselby.co.uk<\/a><br>07729 305695<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I am a photographer and skateboarder based in Hertfordshire.
