Title: Skate photographer project- Pontus Alv & more
Post by: Wallnut on April 11, 2011, 03:37:34 AM

Filming has just finished on "Format Perspective", a documentary about 6 European skate photographers.
The film is shot completely in super 8 (with sound) and shows both what goes on behind the lens and the footage of the skating that goes into forming the photos that were shot for this project.
This preview clip with Pontus Alv from Nils Svensson's section should explain things best:

The video and a book featuring all the photos from the film with be released this summer and will feature the photography of the following guys:
Nils Svensson (Malm?), Stuart Robinson (Belfast), Alex Irvine (London), Richard Gilligan (Dublin), Bertrand Trichet (Barcelona-Tokyo) and Sergej Vutuc (Heilbronn)

More previews to come in the next few weeks.

Here's the penultimate preview from Sergej Vutuc, a guy who's work is quite different, he develops and prints all his own stuff, definitely comes out quite different from a lot of stuff out there:
