Icebergs with Ted Humble Smith


Following my previous story with Ted, i created these Iceberg sculptures which he photographed beautifully. For my first still life i wanted to create these objects as though they were viewed from a studio and my previous post almost a glacial melt but viewed from space, both created from their man made enemies - plastic.

KRAFT UND SCHӦNHEIT













I put this shoot together recently as the 2012 Olympics has been on my mind, photographer Tanausu Herrera and i were mad about the idea of creating a 1936 Olympic story with a modern take. Anyone who knows my work im sure know i love a good futuristic factor, the idea of customization and sleek sportswear made me quite excited!
We did this story for online technology, art and fashion platform The Futurista. I created the arm/leg/chest/head protectors you can see in this story. This was also the first project of mine that i got to art direct! Really happy with the result! Thanks to everyone involved!

Part of the write up on The Futurista -

Inspired by the works of Leni Riefenstahl on her book of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, ‘Schönheit im Olympischen Kampf’ [Beauty in the Olympic Games]we have produced a shoot that not only takes on her already re-interpreted concept of classic ancient greek imagery, but leans towards a more futuristic vision. Leading up to the London Olympics 2012 and comparing those of 1936 with actual sports events, we can clearly see that today we have ever more powerful athletes and more world records broken, but who knows what the advancements in technology and science would bring for future Olympics.

Here is what she said of her work on the 1936 Olympics:

“What makes these pictures unique is that cameramen have never been allowed to work so close to the athletes at any other Olympics. It was a hard battle to obtain authorization for this from the IOC. Despite permission being granted, there were vehement disputes with the judges on a daily basis. One had to go to war to get the shots.” -Riefenstahl
