Atiba Jefferson

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Atiba Jefferson. Jefferson is a storied photographer within punk and alternative spaces. From his work in the revered skateboarding magazine Thrasher and being a staff photographer for the Los Angeles Lakers to shooting AP’s WILLOW cover in 2021, Jefferson embodies the culture. “I am still always inspired by so much new skateboarding and photography,” he told AP, but whether he’s unveiling collaborations with Supreme or Modernica, music remains in the foreground. During his conversation with Madden, Jefferson digs into his beginnings in the skateboarding world, capturing everyone from Playboi Carti to Tyler, the Creator, and his biggest inspiration. ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!
