A WORLD famous photographer was at the One Minet Skatepark in Saffron Walden on Sunday.

Philip Sinden, who works for magazines such as Harpers Bazaar, was photographing father and son skaters as part of an article for the Saturday Telegraph magazine.

Skatepark secretary Jane Gray said: β€œIt was a great opportunity for some of the keen photographers at the skatepark to meet a very successful professional photographer and to see how he captures an action shot.”

Mr Sinden, who works all over the globe, was very impressed by the skaters and the skatepark and even had a go at recapturing his youth by borrowing a board and cruising down the concrete - but declined to drop into the bowl.
