Zorah Olivia To put it simply, Zorah is killing it when it comes to skate photography. Between various exhibitions, including her own solo show, “Royal Blood,” Zorah has been busy behind the lens, pushing her photography to the next level. Taking full advantage of living in Los Angeles, Zorah has shot with some of the best skaters and has helped to carve out a place for female photographers in the skate industry. Why did you decide to travel to London last year and document the women’s skate scene over there? My family all pretty much come from England; my great grandmother was an immigrant from Liverpool. I was really curious to meet the women in the skateboard community there; I met everyone that I photographed through Instagram! I love all of the ladies I met and hung out with in London, I feel like I have a new family there.
Having photos published in Thrasher is a career goal for many skate photographers. Now that you’ve ticked that off, what’s next on your list? Making the cover of Thrasher! How do you think you’ve progressed with your photography in the last year? I’ve been practicing using flash for every shoot lately—action and portrait work. It’s important to experiment with camera angles and the direction of the flash.
