Everything O’Dell Shoots Moves

Patrick O’Dell made his name documenting skate culture from the inside—his Epicly Later’d series gave pro skaters the kind of honest, unglamorous portrait that the sport’s official media never would. Babes on Wheels works in a different register: women, motion, and the particular freedom that comes from something rolling under you. O’Dell photographs people the way they look when they’re not performing for a camera, which is the whole trick and also the hardest thing to pull off.
