Nils‘ photos are timeless. The black and white stuff on film is pure photographic beauty. Malmö has a scene like no other. What Pontus and the Polar crew have created has reverberated around the world. The DIY spots, the filming and editing style with their videos—it’s an aesthetic admired, and copied, all over.
They touch on all aspects of being a skateboard photographer: You’ve gotta have high standards for your work, you’ve gotta have and cultivate a good relationship with your subjects, and at the core, you’ve got to be a skateboarder yourself. Congrats to Polar and especially Nils on this one. A lifetime dedicated to bringing us into your world—and it looks beautiful.
