Alex is a pro-skateboarder, photographer and native New Yorker. In the mid-90s Alex managed Supreme's first skate shop for 10 years when it was their only location. Supreme would go on to become a two billion-dollar streetwear brand. Around the same time Alex appeared as himself in Larry Clark's 1995 cult classic film Kids. Larry would later contribute photos to FULL BLEED. Today Alex is revered as the virtuosic photographer, skateboarder and curator who co-created, then updated the only truly definitive, essential photobook of New York City skateboarding - the scene that shook youth culture, fashion, streetwear, film, music and art.
"Captures the beautiful grit of New York City's skateboard culture" - GQ
"The photographs take us to hotspots like Brooklyn Banks and introduce the characters who would personify and capture a culture." - The New Yorker

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Alex Corporan is a native New Yorker, born and raised in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. His life changed when he started skateboarding back in 1986. His professional career kicked off shortly after. During his skateboarding career, Alex was also a big part of the NY nightlife scene as a curator/writer/photographer, and bar owner. He has put together many art shows and projects for galleries, as well as various magazines and books. Life's trajectory eventually led him to manage a skate shop called Supreme in the mid 90's when it was the only store on Lafayette St. After spending nearly 10+ years running Supreme and creating a movement that has changed what fashion/streetwear has become, he moved to the corporate side of things and headed up the East Coast Marketing team for Etnies (Soletech) for nearly ten years. He is now a Marketing Consultant/Event Planner/Producer for the multifaceted and boundless cultural spiderweb he created in his universe. Currently Alex is a partner and Creative Director at Frank 151. Skateboarding is still the center of his life as he continues to support the scene and the youth coming up within it.
Andre Razo is a multi-disciplinary creator moving freely between art and commerce. Now the creative director of Warner Media, his personal works have been widely exhibited in solo and group shows including Marlborough Gallery, The Hole and LA Moca. He continues to collaborate with companies in the skateboard and snowboard industries regularly.
