Photolyfe: Quang Le

Welcome to PhotoLyfe, in which Stab’s favourite photographers answer questions about themselves with their own images. It’s that old picture-tells-a-thousand-words chestnut but with more colour and pop. It’s a way to cut out all the bullshit. It’s like jacking into the main vein of those who supply us with exquisite surf imagery every day. Give thanks by studying each image with a more careful eye than ever! Today’s another in a newly-introduced Photolyfe element; we’re swaying just a bump away from pure surf shooters, and are now including, on occasion, lensmen who orbit surfing without ever permanently entering the atmosphere. Quang Le is connected to our world through companies like Stance Socks (which you’ll find on the feet of John John Florence and others), and though he ain’t a surf shooter, he is an amazing documenter of pop culture and the colourful side of life. Get lost in his ultrabright world below. Get at Quang’s web portal here, and Instagram @photosalaquang 1. Describe yourself   2. Where are you from?   3. What got you into photography?   4.
