Ben Tynegate Untitled, Venice, 2012

摘要

When not photographing buildings, Ben Tynegate's other job is as a wedding film-maker, creating high-definition mementos of high-end nuptials. He notes that unlike 'staged' photos, his films track the day; to capture landscape, spaces, sounds, unexpected or fleeting moments. Drawing on his architecture studies, his films embody a form of perfection in incidence: slo-mo confetti suspended around the happy couple, diners' faces lit by candlelight, the wide smiles of guests picked out from an Yves Klein blue-soaked dancefloor. These too are constructions of sorts. His own photos can be rather more contingent. In his free time he'll swap the kit for a cheap 35mm film camera; one he doesn't mind losing or dropping. He takes a shot and then forgets about it. Weeks later he might process them at Snappy Snaps. It's less about the result than the anticipation and letting go.
