“This is all about building memories”
From Rio Maior, here’s Adrian Matei, 25 years old. He was born in Romania but moved to Portugal at the age of 8, which is precisely when he started to skate. As a professional photographer, capturing the most vibrant tricks is what drives him to go out every weekend for the past seven years in search of the best shots.
I’ve been skating since I came to Portugal from Romania when I was 8 years old. I started photographing about seven years ago, using my mother’s camera. What began as a hobby became more serious, although my main job is as an event photographer. I’m also a videographer because I can do both, but if you ask me what I prefer, I’d say photography. Capturing the right moment is all about building memories.

I use Instagram and Facebook to promote my work. I’ve always tried to build my style based on my inspirations, the big names whose photos were published in skate magazines. Street skating is what I love to photograph the most. Sure, we go to skateparks to catch special tricks, but the streets offer the diversity I need to explore my point of view and capture the best vibe. Am I more of a photographer than a skater? Yes, for sure.

I think it’s awesome. It’s something new in Portugal. I’ve been following skateboarding for a long time, and I’ve never seen an event with this level of organization, fully dedicated to celebrating skateboarding culture. Thank you for that.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
