In the summer of 2022, Converse sent me out with a photographic mission: find a community of young skaters who embody the brand's spirit of defying conformity. I quickly met and befriended this amazing group of boys who happily welcomed me with open arms. I coordinated in our group chat to meet up at popular photo spots within the city. I aimed for the photophraphs to capture the vibrant youth community the boys created for themselves.
