IN YOUR FACE - 59 secs Video Portraits of professional windsurfers and watermen
While doing a photo shoot with a few professional watermen in Maui/ Hawaii, I wanted to approach things a little differently:
I wanted to give the viewer a bit of a living insight into their faces - for 59 seconds.
These videos are still portraits in a way - yet in motion and thereby "interactive".
Why 59 seconds? To underscore that while they are certainly long enough to get a good and interesting impression about them, this slice is just as certainly incomplete and can't show it all. It is a facet and only can capture the mood and situation of those seconds on that day.
I continued the "In your Face"-series at the Sylt Windsurfing World Cup, so for now, there are nine clips:
Kauli Seadi, Jason Polakow, Ricardo Campello, Robby Swift, Keahi Aboitiz, Andy Chambers, Klaas Voget, Bernd Flessner and Bjoern Dunckerbeck - choose from the tabs above.
Enjoy!
