Photographer Hugh Holland, best known for documenting the rise of California's skateboard culture in the 1970s, died February 1 in Los Angeles, Calif.
Born in Oklahoma in 1942, Holland moved to California in the late '60s. There he began delving into photography and exploring street photography. "His ability to embed himself in skateboarding culture and his unfailing photographic instinct allowed him to create exhilarating photos that capture the joy and style of the era," his publisher Chronicle Books noted.
His photographs were collected in three books: Locals Only (2012), Silver. Skate. Seventies. (2019), and Last Days of Summer (2024).
