#55 Demystifying Media Guest Lecture: Photographing the Skateboarding Community with Atiba Jefferson
About Our Guest:
Atiba Jefferson is an American photographer based in Los Angeles, California. Best known for his 25 years of skateboarding photography, over the years he has worked for all the major skateboard publications and now works at Thrasher Magazine. Another passion – basketball – landed him a gig as a staff photographer for the L.A. Lakers during the Shaq and Kobe years, and he currently holds the record at SLAM magazine for the most covers taken by a single photographer in the publication’s history.
Atiba discovered a love and passion for skateboarding while growing up in Colorado Springs, CO. Moving to California in 1995 only strengthened that love and paired it with an equal passion for photography.
Atiba’s list of commercial clients include Supreme, adidas, Nike, Converse, Reebok, ESPN, Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Oakley, Pepsi, Canon, and Netflix.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
