Best skate photographer of all time. But very elusive, I need to know more

He has a great photo feature in the August 2004 issue of Transworld, which also has a super sick cover of Rodney Mullen (primo slide through windex on a glass fun box, shot from below).
Despite not having seen that issue in well over a decade, I have a distinct memory of Sturt's self portrait in there: crazy colored sky/clouds and he is wearing a suit and holding out a silver platter with a severed finger on it.
Sturt fucking rules. Great filmer too.

Has he ever done an interview? He is skateboarding's bigfoot.

Anyone have any stories? dude would have made for such a good EL

Like I said it's been over a decade since I last saw that issue so I could be mistaken, but I think he has an interview in there or he wrote a piece for it...

Jeremy Wray has a good Sturt story or two on the 9 club.
-
Are there any photos of the guy? I always picture dwights friend Rolf when I think of sturt

Here's a short video of Sturt
https://youtu.be/ZD_TOcErMoI
EDIT:
I almost forgot, I think he got his start filming for H-Street and Life
At 2:35 he's the guy with the white shirt and shoes filming sheffey and again later at 4:26 he pops up on screen
https://youtu.be/ECeSIga1Ukk
That style of follow filming was pretty progressive at the time

He stayed on my couch for a few nights in the early 2000''s. I took him to whiterock bowl and it made him want to start skating again. He was quite reserved about my lifestyle back then with all the cokes and bong hits and junk food......before he left he told me that I am his Tyler Durden. Never saw him again.
Very glad to have met him and shot a photo.
He has a P.O. box as the address on his ID.
-
I think he's a Jesus freak? I remember reading a short article in a magazine by him when I was younger that started out really interesting but degraded into a whole lot of Jesus praising.
Aside from that, everything I see or hear about him makes him seem like a pretty intense, serious guy with morbid tastes.
'Is there a possibility of death?'
I remember something about him doing the loop at Vob's ramp, though he claimed to have some outside help from Jesus or God or someone.
All the photos of his I can remember are black and white, with the exception of the psychedelic, refractory ones he did of Rodney Mullen.
He has very veiny arms

I am too lazy to find it but he is responsible for an insanely well filmed clip of Markus Wyndham (I think?) doing what's probably one of the first 270 lip slides down a hand rail.
EDIT: found it on insta: https://instagram.com/p/BQTQqDdFZZB/
-
i remember something, maybe from that interview in transworld posted above..too weird to read, but didn't he retire so he could just disappear out of skateboarding, and perhaps the rest of the world? definitely a bigfoot.
-
There's tons of mythical stories about this dude, Dave Swift i think had one about living with him and getting into an argument about buying toilet paper, so Sturt started taking misprinted shirts from where they worked (T&C Surf i think) and using them instead of tp and throwing them on the roof when he was done. Him meeting skaters at spots blocking off the street not talking to anyone shooting the photo and being back in the car and driving off as the skater was rolling away. He yelled at Appleyard who was not getting into a trick,"what you do is you ollie land your truck on the ledge and grind it, not that complicated". He got into it with Grant about running a Damain Carbajal pic that Grant hated, said he wouldnt submit anymore pics until it was run, Grant tried to call his bluff and lost had to run the pic he already didnt like but now it had been getting faded sitting on the dashboard of Sturts truck for 3 months. Also managed to make Damain Carbajal look really good on a skateboard, where if you look at older H Street videos that is not an easy task. Also made Brian Lotti, Matt Hensley, and Sean Sheffey look even more mythical than they already did. (there was quite a few H-Street, Life, Planet Earth, skateboarders that had terrible style but was camoflouged by the amazing video magic of Sturt).

Yep, Marcus Wyndham was next level sick. Was years before I realised who it was as the commentary only says "This is Marcus " and doesn't say his surname. He came to Melbourne when he was on Planet Earth and still we didn't realise who he was until a while after that.

Also, most insane trick ever.
-
^^^ I remember that but didn't remember it was Stuart. So crazy.
-
Never seen that trick tip before, insane!
It's a pretty well known story, but I always liked the story of him dressing as a mechanic to sneak into the location and poaching the photo of Danny Way doing the helicopter drop in (at least I think that's what it was).
-
Danny Way single-handedly feminized street skating in one move by building that crazy handrail. That�s something I thought could never happen. Don�t get me wrong. I love street skating as much as anybody, but you can ask any top street pro what they think about him and that rail, and most will admit they should probably be wearing a pink dress right now.
When are born-againers ever not misogynistic?

Skateboarder Mark Waters - Free Lunch Interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YCpNeS_qb4#)

Def needs an epicly laterd or other documentary focus.
-
liked him more before hearing what an insane born again christian he's become. wow, what a nutjob.
-
That backflip thing is nuts it probably didn't look nearly as cool in person but that's gotta be hard to do
-
Anyone have any stories? dude would have made for such a good EL
I told Patrick this on his instagram, then a week later he came out with one on the world's most boring skater, Sean Malto. Then later Pat blocked me for the most tame gay joke ever.

Sturt fucking rules. Great filmer too.
Even though DHS's name is on the cover, I'm pretty Seu Trinh shot the Rodney Mullen cover

If you read my post I didn't say sturt shot the cover, just mentioned as an aside that it was a great cover in addition to the sturt piece in the issue. Sorry for the confusion but I think anyone who knows sturt's photography would know that's not his work haha :)
-
There needs to be a DHS photo book
-
Ffej has a funny story about DHS sneaking into some NSA contest in Arizona in the days of way-back. Frank Hawk is on the PA yelling at everyone to stop skating so they can start the first groms heat. It clears out. DHS in disguise drops in and slams on purpose with concealed fake blood bag that explodes all over. Screaming children, etc. Second-hand story, so I can't swear to every detail, but it sounds like the kind of thing missing from skateboarding these days - a sense of humor.
-
no one actually believes that swing flip is real, do they ?
-
no but it they did a good ass job of faking it

Sturt shooting Rowley is a match made in heaven/hell
I remember a sturt (color photo ) sequence of Rowley in Thrasher, think part was the cover, but the caption said something like "Geoff Rowley back 3 into the Matter Horn, take this out of the mag and staple it to your fucking eye balls" Something like that, wish I had that one

I always thought the photo looked a lot gnarlier than the footage, but that's not saying much because the video is still gnarly as fuck
-
Oh hell yea, thanks for posting that cover. Sturt is a master, take note that whenever you see a photo or video of something steep it never comes across as grarly as it really is, you need to see it to understand how steep the hill bombed was or bank ollie into etc. was. This shot lets you see straight away how steep and insane it is."Masterlensmen" for sure

This one's actually a little false as the camera angle makes the bank look steeper than it actually is! Cleverly done but if you look at the bushes they seem a little off.

I think the expressway was brand new and not opened to traffic. Skate wise, I think they build some kind of quarter / kicker ? I could be wrong.

I'm not sure about back then, but it's currently an unused exit off the I-5 just north of the 76 in Oceanside, and yes, it's a transition built up to the wall below the rail. There was still one there years ago but I think it was on the other side (the inside of the curve). I have a feeling it was never used as an exit because it doesn't really go to anything below it that I remember. It just ends in the dirt by the bike trail/creek. I love stumbling across legendary spots.

Just to contribute since I’m a huge Sturt fan. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EWrwQlUkv/?utm_medium=copy_link (https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EWrwQlUkv/?utm_medium=copy_link)
Matt Hensley has amazing stories with Sturt. Randomly getting a phone call being told that he’s going to “Walk the Line” that day.
And On the topic of Rowley, this is a dope story.

I’ve read that Sturt would sometimes dress up as a worker in order to be undercover. Imagine him standing by the side of the road with an orange vest on, shooting pictures of Hensley
(EDIT : somehow I didn’t see Trickflip’s post, sorry !)

Not really the angle, the lens. All that Rowley stuff that looked warped like that was shot on a tilt shift lens.

regardless of lens type, it's obvious he tilted the camera 45 degrees toward making the bank look impossibly steep. an old photographey trick pushed further.

Bumping this from over a year ago. But I think it's worth it.
I scanned and posted the Dan Sturt photo feature today. The one from the Transworld issue with Mullen on the cover.
Enjoy.

well, no not really. tilt shift lenses, when fully tilted either up or down, stretch the last 1/3 - 1/4 of the frame in a weird way. so probably a slight angle to accentuate the bank, and then the shift makes it more dramatic. source - i shoot with tilt shift lenses for a living.

This one's actually a little false as the camera angle makes the bank look steeper than it actually is! Cleverly done but if you look at the bushes they seem a little off.
Not really the angle, the lens. All that Rowley stuff that looked warped like that was shot on a tilt shift lens.
well, no not really. tilt shift lenses, when fully tilted either up or down, stretch the last 1/3 - 1/4 of the frame in a weird way. so probably a slight angle to accentuate the bank, and then the shift makes it more dramatic. source - i shoot with tilt shift lenses for a living.
I think the poster above you means tilt as in rotated the camera not tilt as in tilt shift lens. I could be wrong though.
I've never used a tilt shift lens. They're mainly used for keeping lines straight in architecture photohtaphy right?
I remember when this cover came out, people pointed out the angle the plants were at. If you hold the cover so they're growing straight up that's probably a more realistic 0 degree point.

Sturt shooting Rowley is a match made in heaven/hell
I remember a sturt (color photo ) sequence of Rowley in Thrasher, think part was the cover, but the caption said something like "Geoff Rowley back 3 into the Matter Horn, take this out of the mag and staple it to your fucking eye balls" Something like that, wish I had that one
I remember that caption well. It was for this photo.

This is part of the image tilted 30 degrees clockwise. Indeed the bank looks less gnarly and the bushes more natural. Either way, great pic.
Did anyone mention how Sturt "poached" footage of DWay setting a new world record for a highest air on a vert ramp in like 98 (Sturt set up a camera with like a 1600 mm long lens and got the pictures in Thrasher before TWS who paid for the ramp, location (a former airport iirc) A real legend.
Edit: just compared the footage of the 360 ollie in Extremely Sorry and Sturt (apart from tilting the camera) must have had his camera very low (probably lying on the ground or they must have photoshopped Rowley a bit higher in the air) since it looks way lower in the video.
Good example of how a camera (angle, lens or both) can make a trick look huge (or sometimes vice versa) like JJ doing a switch tre over what appeared to be almost a river in South Korea but when the footage came out it was a small ditch in a park.

the footage of that trick is so much less impressive than the photo it was years before i actually realized they were the same trick.

Its crazy how insane of a skater he was too. You gotta be a ripper in order to do the loop, hell even if you are one you might not do it.

Thank you for posting. This photos shows what a gnarly skate nerd Sturt was.

I had the magazine with the Sturt photos in it as a kid. Can't remember how many times I must've read the captions and looked at the photos. Still amazing to look back on, even (more) today. Definitely my fac skateboard photographer of all time.

Have high respect for Stuart - but in this case I think it was trick.
Had a couple of friends who where really good with the swing, jumping off doing flips and stuff - and where really good at skating and they try to redo that stunt over years. It was absolutely impossible.
Our solution was back then from page 6 board & feet where tied up - then the move is possible.

well now that i have seen he has done the loop at 38 years old i imagine he must be actually really insane skater. he might have some sick gymnastics background orsomething. so maybe it is real.

Soz if I missed the joke but there's been trick photography for almost as long as there's been photography. I can think of a couple ways you could do it and I have absolutely zero of the expertise dan Sturt has. But then I also always thought his loop pic was sus too.

I know trick photography has been around forever, just in this case it seems hard to fake that due to the swing, board, momentum, etc. I'm not ruling it out though, it's either an impressive trick or an impressive fake.
Either way I made it into a gif...

Ok definatly looks way better animated like that. Fuck it maybe he did do it lol. If I was going to fake it tho I'd take a sequence of the first bit like swing down put my feet on the board and try pop an Ollie and let the board just fly off, then stick my feet to a board and just swing and do a flip, then maybe just roll thru do an Ollie for the landing and some extra roll away. Not saying that's what definatly happened tho just first idea of how I'd make that sequence

Stuart was always about the composition- more then
abou the trick - his cooperation with Matt - was masterwork defining skateboarding and skateboard photography- but he was always „organizing something“ remember some Hensley interview - that Stuart was pick him up with ideas and Matt didn’t know where they go and what he had in mind.
With this photo there was a quarter hidden, the road was closed. Matt said he „make“ it - but the photo was much better the the „done trick“
If I remember right…

Yeah the chain/seat in the final slides are a giveaway in my mind, doesnt behave normally
Seems like his backfoot at least is attached to the board. He’d have to be going so fast to actually scoop a board up like that with his feet alone

Since my name is Daniel Stewart, I got called Daniel Harold Sturt a lot growing up. But not as much as I got called "Daniel-San".

He stayed on my couch for a few nights in the early 2000''s. I took him to whiterock bowl and it made him want to start skating again. He was quite reserved about my lifestyle back then with all the cokes and bong hits and junk food......before he left he told me that I am his Tyler Durden. Never saw him again.
Very glad to have met him and shot a photo.
He has a P.O. box as the address on his ID.
Do you remember these crackheads Norm and his friend (his name might have been Oden- I forget tho). They were old White Rock rippers and Norm had a big scar on his face cause of his friend. They were fucked up crackheads that moved to Whistler from White Rock and brought a dark cloud over the village. I saw Norm do a corkscrew kf stalefish 540 out of the snakerun bowl to flat. I realize that does not sound real but he I saw him do it.

the thing with modern skate photography is it has to be perfect and follow a bunch of rules if you wanna get published, I believe that all started with Atibas influence, he really cleaned everything up which forced everyone else too, and created a lot of very boring textbook perfect photgraphy. Most of Dan's famous photos would never be run in modern publications cuz he cuts peoples heads, parts of boards, holds the camera at random angles, even a to amazing Spike Jonze stuff would probably get axed cuz he broke a lot of the rules. Basically now everything has to be perfect composed and framed, you need to see run up, landing, all flashes need to be hidden and evenly lit. Like anything it gets boring wants it gets perfected.

You're right about things being too perfect. Being able to see your shots as you go whilst shooting digital is great but it also means that you iron out a lot of the errors that make photos interesting.
Plus I think film just makes things look so much better too. I know from shooting both digital and film myself, a lot of times I'll shoot 100 digital shots and 5 film shots and it's usually its one of the film shots that ends up being the keeper.
