I'm Adrian Mayes, and my journey into photography began with my grandfather, whose quiet ability to capture honest, beautiful moments left a lasting impression on me. His images told stories without words, and that fascinated me from a young age. Later, I found a new source of inspiration in skateboarding photography — the grit, movement, and raw emotion of it all. It taught me to chase authenticity and to see beauty in the unpolished. My style today is rooted in that blend: thoughtful, real, and driven by a deep love for storytelling through stillness and motion.
