The ‘Retro-Future’ of Skateboard Photography Costs $60 off eBay
Skateboarders and fashion people in general love a 90’s or older resurgence right now. Here is a Lomo 3D love story from Madrid.
Roger Gonzalez, a filmer from Spain, spent four days with Joseph Biais, Gabriel Engelke, Roman Gonzalez, & Felipe Bartolomé with a rad old Nishika and produced some stunning results. Think the VX welding Spirit Quest guys are fiending right now?
“You don’t need to have the most expensive equipment to get interesting photos. It’s also possible to get intriguing output with a $60 camera from eBay. The Spanish filmer Roger Gonzalez made some first steps into the world of skate photography with the Nishika 3D 8000 and captured some uncommon retro-futuristic skatepics with 3D effect on film.”

Can you tell a bit about how it works technically?
The process might be a bit of a pain in the ass, since you have to work with four pics, but it’s very mechanical. I shoot a roll, and develop it in a shop. Then I scan the negatives at home and lay down the four frames of each gif together on photoshop. Each negative contains two frames of the four we will use for each gif. Then I touch the levels of the pics a litle bit and we export the gif. Later I’ll add a song in premiere if it’s for Instagram.
