The way we work
COLLABORATION
We do our best work in a collaboration where the best ideas win.
Ben has played a major roll in developing our broadcast shows….he’s creative, he collaborates, he’s a problem solver and he does it all with an infectious can do spirit.
STORYTELLING
We use artistry and film grammar to communicate your story. That way, everyone can live happily ever after.
When working with Ben, you get a passionate advocate who not only makes great looking images, but understands and contributes to the whole creative process. He is always engaged and thinking about the project as a whole from the shooting, lighting, storytelling and more. His good nature and calmness under pressure make him a pleasure to work with.
TAILOR IT
Your project is unique. We can scale the gear and crew to fit the specific needs of your particular project.
Video production takes several moving parts; its an extremely collaborative medium… and making really GREAT video brings the importance of collaboration up front and center. Putting my trust and creative collaborative spirit in Image Garden has never failed me. Whether its helping me with crewing, deciding on cameras and gear, or creative problem solving on set, they deliver every time.

This is our story
so you get to know us better
On the first day of 2007...
Ben and Donna Mesker set out on a new adventure. Ben had been gaining experience since 1992 working for production companies in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Orlando. But this time would be different. They were out to build their own brand of production company. Today, Image Garden Inc. is centered on supporting the story telling work of Ben Mesker as a director and cinematographer. When Ben is not behind the camera, he fills his time with family, woodworking and design.
In 2010, Ben invented a product designed for production professionals called a Jokerbox. Today, Jokerboxes are sold all over the world from its retail website jokerbox.com. They have been featured in several publications including Popular Photography Magazine. Whether Ben is designing a toolbox or your next shoot, inventiveness and craftsmanship are the hallmarks of his brand. So come on, let’s tell your story.
