Denis McGrath

Dennis McGrath was born in New Jersey in 1969. He became interested in photography when he started skateboarding in the mid-80’s. In 1994 he took a more serious interest while studying at the San Francisco Art Institute. From 1995-2005 he shot for most major skateboard publications worldwide. In 2005 Dennis stepped away from photographing skateboarding to focus on more personal documentary type work. He is interested in story-telling through the photographic process with the use of text and ephemera to help tell a story. His work was shown in the Bay Area Now 4 show at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in 2005 as part of the Hamburger Eyes exhibit. He lives and works in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
