Skip Brown

LIVES IN: Cabin John, Maryland, “within walking distance to the Potomac and 10 minutes from Great Falls, where I regularly paddle and surf” ORIGINALLY FROM: Hampton, Virginia IN THIS ISSUE: Photographed the cover and other outings for our story on outdoor adventures, plus a few Extraordinary Teen Award winners HOW HE GOT THAT SHOT: “The paddleboarder on the cover was photographed with a drone, not far from where I grew up in the salt marshes of the lower Chesapeake Bay. One of my oldest childhood friends and I paddled over on SUPs. I climbed onto a duck blind to launch and fly the drone while my buddy paddled around. What makes this shot special to me is that it’s the same place I played as a kid. And with one of the same kids!” ADRENALINE HIGHS: “I love kiteboarding and wing-surf foiling from various launches around Annapolis, Maryland; mountain biking the myriad trails in the DMV; hang gliding and paragliding the Massanutten ridge between Harrisonburg and Strasburg, Virginia; and kayaking and SUP-surfing the incredible whitewater of the Potomac River on and just below Great Falls. Also skiing, snowboarding and Nordic skiing in Canaan Valley, West Virginia—my go-to place for winter sports.” DAY JOB: “I’m an editorial and corporate photographer bouncing back from two years of Covid underemployment. I shoot everything from magazine stories and portraits of lawyers to baby pandas for the National Zoo, a longtime client. And of course, a variety of my favorite outdoor adventure sports.” ONLINE: skipbrownphotography.com; @skipbrownphoto on Instagram
