Dan Boulton was born in 1973 in Enfield, North London. His work, which crosses the line between documentary, street photography and fine art which has been featured in skateboard documents. A collection of his work is soon to be published as a limited edition book by Chicago-based Parking Block Publishing. The camera which Dan uses is the Leica M6, which is a 50 mm f/2 Summircron and liford HP5 film. All the work for the southbank project and show has been shot using this setup. He's strictly sticks to one camera, one lens in his approach.
His style of photography is that he likes to take his pictures in black and white. Also he has a thing about taking pictures in skateparks. Catching the skaters in action and catching what they do at the time.

This photo is brilliantly taken, snapping the skater in action before he takes off to towards the jump. Also the use of the black and white effect makes the photo seem older than usual.

I like this picture as it also captures the skaters before there about to skate. Also this picture shows the environment around them, as you can see other skaters in the background and theirs also a dog in the background as-well.

This photo is taken perfectly, capturing the skater in mid-action, also it shows where about they skate and what the place is like, by looking at the graffiti in the background, shows that the environment isn't owned by anyone and is run by the skaters.
Question:
What got you into photography?
