Nike's Being True - 22 Years of American Youth

Nike’s Being True opened April 3rd at Los Angeles’ 144 LAB. To simply say it was a success would be an understatement. Hundreds of youthful smog-city denizens packed into the small space to have a peak at what Being True is all about: an exhibition presented by Nike which plays off the notion of being true, bringing together 22 photographers who’ve used their cameras to capture a moment in time when a subject, completely devoid of pretense, expressed him or herself honestly and truly. 
The exhibit features some truly awesome photography from the likes of Tim Barber, Angela Boatwright, Kenneth Cappello, Poppy De Villeneuve, Cheryl Dunn, Naomi Harris, Alex Hoerner, Drew Jarrett, Alain Levitt, Jeaneen Lund, Ari Marcopoulos, Dan Murphy, Jason Nocito, Patrick O’Dell, Mike Piscitelli, David Ransone, Terry Richardson, Jamel Shabazz, David Perez (Shadi), Brent Stewart, Ray Potes, and Tobin Yelland.
