Slide with side text

Templeton looks for beauty in the unusual; honest and unpolished.

He often paints the backgrounds of his photos or adds text to them, placing extra focus on a subject and the person. Through this signature, he leaves an indelible impression, just as he did as a professional skateboarder.
