We went on a morning-photo-stroll through Milan with Rune Glifberg, to go check out a local photo book store, snap a few analog photos and find out about his personal journey in photography along the way. Rune makes the best use of his time on the road with Monster Energy by getting up earlier than everybody else and experiencing the city through the lens of his Leica, Hasselblad & Mamiya as well as shooting his own style of skate imagery alongside the professional skate photographers and filmers on the session. Check out Rune's portfolio feature from Issue 52 below!
Over the past two years we were lucky enough to spend time with Rune Glifberg in the van across Europe, constantly in awe of how he’s able to skate any demo and bust out crowdpleasers along the way. Whenever the crew decides to hit yet another street spot, Rune doesn’t just simply sit down and watch, instead he opens his backpack loaded with some of the finest analog photo gear imaginable, picks and chooses his weapon of the day and walks off to find a creative angle vastly different from what the skate photographer on duty would ever think of shooting and snaps away. Over time he’s built a body of work spanning from said skate photography, to portraits, to architectural images and street photography, often shot during the morning on trips while the crew is still sleeping. We dug into his archive for this issue and spent a morning on tour walking through the streets of Milan, soon to be seen on our Youtube.
