MY STORY
SASHA MOTIVALA
Having a love for cameras since he was a child, taking pictures and shooting skateboard videos of his friends as a teenager, Sasha’s passion for creating images and storytelling existed before he knew it could become his career and his life. Since that day, whether shooting for some of the most celebrated action sports films, telling the stories of incredible adventures and inspiring characters, or just capturing moments from his own crazy adventures, Sasha has spent the past 20 years with a camera in his hands and a keyboard at his fingertips, passionately telling the stories that have inspired him.
“I believe that in every person, place and happening there is a story to be told, a tale that will stir our emotions, seeing the parallels in our own life, or dreaming of a life where we are as bold as those we admire. From capturing the beauty in the ordinary, to documenting the most driven and inspired endeavors I’ve loved every minute and put that same passion into every project.”
