Matt Sharkey Photography

We're all for encouraging healthy outdoor sports here at Fleshbot, but we're glad that Long Beach-based photographer turned his attention from ollies and nosegrinds to the gorgeous nudes on display in his Flickr stream: "i am a photographer who first got his start in skateboarding photography in the early 90s ... i now shoot a variety of things, with the bulk of my personal work being nudes. i don't work with professional models on my personal work, but instead with "everyday" people who are friends of mine, people i've met through my wife ... or people i meet in day to day life." Matt also says he's working on a book project to show of his work, which manages to be both tasteful and provocative at the same time; in a world where a lot of this kind of stuff tends to try too hard to be one or the other, you can bet we're already clearing some space on our coffee table for whatever he mahanges to come up with. (Espcially if he started shooting some nudes on skateboards. Now that would be awesome.)
