Kyle Scully is one of the best photographers in Vancouver. Here’s our convo.
Tell me a little bit about yourself!
I am 23 years old. I own five bicycles that I ride on a daily basis. I eat pizza. I listen to 60’s rock and I spend most of my time taking photos.
Were you into photography as a kid?
I’ve been taking photos ever since I can remember. As a kid I was living on a really steep street called Long Drive. It was similar to the ones in the movies with a scary name like “Dead Man’s Curve” or “Skull Smasher Hill”. Anyways, my friends and I used to race down the hill on our skateboards and bikes jumping off ramps. Taking photos of this craziness is how I first got into shooting photos.
I have never been to Vancouver, but it seems like a pretty rad place. How would you describe the city?
For me, Vancouver has everything I could want in a city: nice beaches, mountains, relatively warm climate, and it’s easy to get around by bicycle. Yes, it does rain a ton. And yes, it can be depressing at times but as soon as the summer rolls around you forget all about the last 6 months of rain.
