I think any street photographer will say that one of the more interesting things about shooting pictures in an urban landscape is that you don’t have to worry about models posing. I must say that when I was invited to attend the launch for Nate Kogan’s Series 2, I had no idea that I would be setting up my favourite little characters in poses.
Nate’s concept of capturing the work of Canadian street-artists and having them design socks seemed at first, staggeringly funny. His notion is that you are not just buying socks, but a canvas uniquely designed by some of Canada’s greatest street artists.
I had the pleasure of Nate’s company while strolling through his incredible studio, discussing his socks, of course.
iLHP: I’ve got to say, it is so very exciting to be interviewing you! Who are you, exactly, that came up with the amazing idea of using Canadian street artists to design socks? What is your background?
Nate Kogan: Well, my name is Nate, and I am located in Toronto, Ontario. I have an arts background but I am always shifting my creative endeavours which happen to have landed me as the co-founder and creative director of Huely socks.
