John Novak is a photographer working in both photo and video. John's work has always been inspired by his passion for skateboarding which later expanded and transformed his practice into a more explorative space of social identity and urban spaces. He works in both analog and digital formats from 4x5 cameras and expired color film to small mirrorless DSLR's .
