Ingo Schäder, born in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, has been a skateboarder since 1989 (including a break of some years) and started to take a camera with him to shoot pictures of the skaters and friends he was on the road with in 1999.
Ingo got his first images published In the early issues of Boardstein, a skateboard magazine launched in early 2000, thus creating 'Ingo the freelancer' from that day on. Soon after Ingo would go on to land images in other international magazines such as Kingpin Magazine (EUR), Playboard Magazine (GER + AUSTRIA), Limited Magazine (GER), Monster Magazine (GER) & Brett Magazine (GER), all the while expanding his mediums from b&w, color, sequences and 6x6. Ingo's broad use of mediums in combination with his simplistic style have earned him many published photos, coveted cover shots, and commercial jobs covering everything from fliers, posters, and websites
This Website is meant to provide a brief overview on Ingos work. Skateboardphotography, musicphotography, portrait & some misc flicks. Please feel free to leave a message in the guestbook, to drop Ingo a line using the formulary in the „contact“ section and, of course, to flip through this online portfolio.
Enjoy it & all the best to you!


Ingo would like to say „Thank you“ to:
