Photographer of the Month June: Kevin Bouffard
Oh, Canada! You bring us maple syrup, double denim, and Kevin Bouffard.
This month, we're so heckin' excited to share the work of Ghost Behind The Lens. He's only been shooting in the scene for around 2 years, but what he's managed to capture, never ceases to amaze us. Hailing from Ontario, Kevin first busted into the scene with amazing ice images of his wife Chloe aka Skatey McSkateface, and since then, the duo has been wowing us with the creative and dynamic captures of their travels.

When did you first pick up a camera?
I first picked up a camera about 8 years ago, put it down for a few years and started back up about a year and a half ago.

Who are your biggest influences? (photographers/artists/athletes/etc)
A photographer influence that stands out the most for me would be Lorenz Holder (@lorenzholder) on Instagram. Go check him out.

What has been your favorite session to date?
I'd have to say it was shooting at Nevermind BCN in Barcelona. It was a challenge to get the lighting right to really do the place justice.

If you could only shoot one skatepark for the rest of your shooting days, which one and why?
I'd probably just stop shooting skate stuff, to be honest!
My favorite part is shooting in new locations.
