Chris Sembrot shoots Adam Kamens for Surface Magazine

Chris Sembrot had the pleasure of photographing industrial designer & fabricator Adam Kamens for Surface Magazine. Photographed at Amuneal, Kamen's facility in Philadelphia, Chris witnessed first hand, the blending of technology and craftsmanship that go into their products, ranging from store fixtures to delicate bronze seedpods.

Chris Sembrot's Urban Surfers Continued

"Motivated by a beautiful woman and through the help of three close friends, I learned to surf so I could one day say "I surf". 

This project is a portrait series that Chris Sembrot is shooting to document city dwellers who make the trek to the nearest shore with each passing swell. 

Finding surfers in the Tri-State area isn't as easy as finding them on the West Coast, but that's exactly what Chris Sembrot wasn't looking for when he began the project.  He specifically wanted people in the NY, NJ, Philly/PA areas that had their own board, wore whatever they wanted, and were willing to hit the water & be photographed by 6am. Each location is no more than a block from each subject's home.

Chris has been using social media to find some of his subjects.  He initially posted on Facebook, followed by Instagram, and uses those same platforms to post the photographs as well, but the overall project was directly inspired by three friends of his who took him under their wings and withstood with the humiliation (that he still brings when I go out with them) of helping a newbie.  Chris can now say that "he surfs" as easily as he can say "I am a photographer."

Some examples of the project below, more at www.chrissembrot.com.
