As well as being a photographer, Ben Gore is also the videographer, for skate company Megenta. He films using the Sony VX1000 VCR camera, which creates an almost homemade feel to the video’s this company creates. Ben films with a loose style, very few tricks are filmed stationary and everything is focussed on motion and the relaxed style that this skate team contains.

What invites me to focus on Ben’s video’s specifically is his ability to create a mood, through his filming of both his surroundings and the people within them. Not only do we see a skate video, we see a great documentation of the area, people and architecture of each city. For example in the linked video entitled La Capsule Suisse – 242, we see a perfect example of this in the city of Geneva.
