Richard Mosse Video and photography

General Janvier, North Kivu, Eastern Congo, 2010 by Richard Fosse.

More stunning photography can be found on his website. But he also makes beautiful videos such as Leviathan:

A film about the recovery of the US Airways jet that crashed into the Hudson and the sinking of old US bombers off Thailand for divers to explore.

Mind how you go with Killcam it has disturbing footage of real people being shot by US Forces. Forces who when injured and recovering in hospital, spend their time playing Iraq-themed first-person shooters:

Finally in Fraternity, Mosse convinces some bros from Yale to scream as hard and as long as they can. Payment? A keg of beer:
