Theo Acworth is a photographer, writer and occasional voice-over artist currently based in Innsbruck, Austria. He first picked up a camera at the age of 14 to document himself and his friends skateboarding in England. Since then, he’s never really put one down. The experience of life makes more sense to him with a camera than without, and he usually has one in his hand or pocket. He also thinks writing about himself in the third person is weird, so he’s going to stop.
Originating from action sports, my process is lightweight, streamlined, and above all else, authentic. My personal blend of photography incorporates a healthy dose of fisheye, a love of visual experiments, plenty of shadows, an appreciation of style, and an irreverent sense of humour.
A usual day will involve me looking for angles by climbing things that aren't meant to be climbed, lying on the concrete, snow or dirt, and putting myself and my fisheye directly in the path of fast moving objects. Whether I’m documenting the world's best action sports athletes, shooting stories for magazines or working on editorial campaigns for international brands, the approach remains the same: do whatever it takes to get the shot, and have a good time doing it.
For reasons unknown, I also enjoy photographing pigeons.
