Locals Only

In the mid-1970s, photographer Hugh Holland stumbled upon skateboarders carving up the streets of Los Angeles. Intrigued by their grace and athleticism, he spent the next three years capturing the vibrant skateboard culture.

"Locals Only: California Skateboarding 1975-1978" showcases over 120 color images of these iconic moments, spanning from Southern California to San Francisco and Baja California, Mexico.

With bleached hair, tanned bodies, and distinctive styles, these skateboarders became legends, shaping the renowned Dogtown and Z-Boys scene.

The book not only presents stunning visuals of this subculture but also includes a Q&A interview with the artist, offering insights into this dynamic era.
