Imagine if your next photo assignment was documenting a surf mission to find undiscovered waves somewhere off the remote, icy shores of Russia. Well, that’s just another day in the life of 24-year-old photographer Dylan Gordon<\/a>. By following his passion for surfing, skateboarding, motorcycles, and travel, Dylan’s photography is\u00a0the work of wanderlust, and his most faithful muse is the great outdoors.<\/p>\n

When did you first discover photography?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing up, I played around a lot with different visual mediums, trying to find where my interest really lied. I loved graphic design but lacked the foresight and hand coordination to create the kind of work I\u00a0liked. Same with architecture. I found that even when I was traveling for skating, \u00a0I loved capturing images and telling the stories from the trips almost more than being in the contests I\u00a0was there for, \u00a0which eventually lead me down the path of deciding on going to college for Visual Journalism, a combination of journalism, photography, and filmmaking. \u00a0It’s hard to figure out the route you want to take. I\u00a0find with a lot of my work, I\u00a0have to experiment in a handful of things before I find what I\u2019ve been looking for. \u00a0I’ve found that because of my dabbles in design I\u00a0now approach storytelling in a very graphic way, it plays a lot into how I\u00a0compose an image or how I capture a story. I love that. I love pulling from experiences to grow my vision as a photographer or filmmaker. The best thing you can do for yourself as a creative is to dabble, experiment, explore.<\/p>\n
