Born in Scotland, photographer Nikki Toole lives in Melbourne, Australia. Since 2009, she has focused on portraits of skateboarders from around the world. Toole frames her subjects in their natural environment. As such, there is a similarity to each shot, but a uniqueness inherent to both personality and location.
Skater: Portraits by Nikki Toole is on view at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra through May 2, 2012.
