Q&A with Atiba Jefferson
Q: Who is your favorite present day competitive skater and what sets them apart from others?
A: Andrew Reynolds is still my favorite but I love all the young guys. Rowan Zorilla and Tyshawn Jones are the future. They do their own thing and that always stands out.
Q: You’ve collaborated with top basketball stars like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Is there a basketball player that has left you starstruck?
A: Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson ooze cool. They also don’t take a bad picture.
Q: How was your recent experience when working with Millie Bobby Brown for her new makeup line?
A: It was great. She is a total pro. She came to the shoot and rocked it like a veteran.
Q: What are some similarities and differences between shooting athletes vs. celebrities?
A: The similarities are you never have a lot of time, the difference is athletes tend to not want to sit and model, celebrities are used to it.
