Originally from central Virginia and now based in New York City, Jonathan Mehring is an award-winning photographer whose first book \u201cSkate the World-Photographing One World of Skateboarding\u201d was published by National Geographic in 2015. In his freewheeling creative quest, he combines a unique style of adventure travel with action and lifestyle photography that has taken him to over 30 countries around the world. His epic journeys include motorcycling through Vietnam, taking a riverboat up the Amazon, riding the Trans-Siberian Railway, road tripping through India, and most recently shooting skateboarders in Hong Kong and Macau\u2014always with a skateboard by his side.<\/p>\n

Mehring earned a BFA in Photography from Virginia Commonwealth University, and even before graduation, his compelling skateboarding images and stories had appeared in Thrasher and Slap magazines. His work has now been published internationally in such prestigious publications as Rolling Stone, Details, Le Monde, The Wall St. Journal, and dozens of skateboarding magazines. His photographs have been exhibited in galleries in New York, L.A., Paris, Sydney, Cologne, Germany, Rotterdam, and Richmond, Virginia. In keeping with his active lifestyle focus, his commercial clients include such household names as Nike, Converse, Vans, Adidas, Levis, Burton, RVCA, Quicksilver, and Red Bull. Among his many accolades: he won the Commercial Category in the acclaimed PDN Photo Annual in 2015, and was listed as one of ESPN\u2019s Top 10 Most Influential People In Skateboarding in 2013. Mehring has been shooting professionally since 2000, and has been a very successful full-time freelancer for the last 3 years.<\/p>\n

What is the connection between skateboarding and photography that seems to motivate so many of today\u2019s up-and-coming young photographers?<\/p>\n

\u201cSkateboarding tends to attract creative people because it\u2019s a challenging activity that requires a lot of creativity,\u201d says Mehring. \u201cAs a result, many skateboarders end up becoming skateboarding photographers because it\u2019s a great subject at any level. It\u2019s an action-packed activity that\u2019s a lifestyle in itself, and it lends itself to a wide variety of imagery. It\u2019s visually fascinating, and capturing it requires focus, concentration, and above all responsiveness to changing circumstances. In some ways, my work has moved toward a broader range of documentary and lifestyle imagery, but I still shoot the action, and I guess I\u2019ll always be a skateboarder at heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in Jonathan Mehring\u2019s camera bag?<\/p>\n

\u201cI use a Nikon D750 for most of my action shots and commercial assignments,\u201d he says, \u201cand I use a Leica M for personal and street photography and as a sidekick to my Nikons. I generally gravitate to prime Nikkor lenses including the 50mm f\/1.4, 85mm f\/1.4, the new 135mm f\/2 I acquired in Hong Kong, and a 16mm f\/2.8 fisheye, but I also use a 24-70mm f\/2.8 and a 70-200mm f\/2.8 for framing versatility when required. For the Leica M I have 35mm f\/2 Summicron, 50mm f\/2 Summicron, and a 90mm f\/2.8 Elmarit. I just got a Benro travel tripod, which is small, light, and seems to do the job, and I pack Nikon Speedlights and Pocket Wizards when I\u2019m shooting on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always shot Nikon since the beginning of my career,\u201d Mehring continues, \u201cand I think DSLRs are still the best for shooting action. I favor them because I\u2019ve found they have the shortest shutter lag and mirror blackout times, and can sync at high speeds with their own dedicated flashes, which are tiny, good for travel, and decently powerful. The lenses are really great and system is perfectly streamlined for my workflow. I\u2019ve been tempted by the new mirrorless EVF cameras but the ones I\u2019ve tried all have longer shutter lag and other delays that are incompatible with shooting skate action where a difference of 1\/100 sec can make or break a photo. I can\u2019t take that risk, especially when someone is risking his neck on my behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you know I just returned from China, where I was on a joint project for Red Bull and Transworld skateboarding magazine shooting images of skaters in Hong Kong and Macau. I documented the vibrant skateboarding scene on the streets and in the skate parks of Hong Kong with an international crew of pros and amateurs from Finland, Germany, Portugal and Washington, DC, and it was an awesome experience. It was a standard issue skateboarder road trip, but that\u2019s a good thing, and as usual I shot everything that was going on including hanging out, meeting locals, and skateboarding on the street.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSkateboarding is a link to street photography because in both genres you exist in the moment, in the environment of the street, and react and interact with what it gives you. Indeed, that\u2019s why the things I learned honing my craft in shooting skateboarding have served me well in covering other freewheeling subjects. Because to be a good skateboarding photographer and cover every aspect of skating you have to learn every aspect of photography\u2014 including how to direct, how to lay in wait anticipating the action, and most importantly, how to have your camera ready at an instant\u2019s notice because you don\u2019t always know what\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the Hong Kong shoot I used a loaner Leica T-System\u2014it\u2019s a great sidearm camera for capturing in-between moments. Shooting with telephotos is great for action shots, but I like to have something wider to capture more intimate scenes. I\u2019ve also been getting into more video lately. I recently shot a video for a water charity in Haiti called Let It Flow, following their well repair team, and I think it\u2019s a good example of what photography can do that\u2019s socially conscious and uplifting. I also helped shoot a short film about a Lady Gaga fashion shoot with Steven Klein for V Magazine, a film directed by Ivan Olita.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy approach to photography is simple and straightforward,\u201d observes Mehring. \u201cI try to have fun living life. That\u2019s my overarching goal and photography helps me to achieve it. I think life should be as much fun as possible, and if I can make my work fun then I\u2019m living the life I want to live. Things aren\u2019t always wonderful of course, and sometimes you have to suffer now to have fun later, or to accomplish a specific goal. But ultimately when you look back on it, even the suffering can be remembered as fun too, especially after you feel the satisfaction of having accomplished that goal. The common thread that characterizes my photography relates directly to the three key aspects of skateboarding\u2014struggle, triumph, and pride. In that sense, skateboarding is a metaphor for life as well as photography, which is essentially capturing and preserving life\u2019s memorable moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

As you go through the outstanding images in this post it is evident that Jonathan Mehring is not only a consummate skateboarding photographer, but also a first class photojournalist and action photographer with an incisive eye, an open heart, and an uncanny ability to capture what is timeless in the intense and fleeting moments that pass in front of his camera.<\/p>\n
