Cedric Terrell Heidi: Why did you create that series, Marwang? Cedric: Last fall I set out to capture the beauty and diversity of black skin, which is poorly represented and rarely celebrated in mainstream media. I wanted to create a project focused specifically on that. I’d worked previously with another model with a rich dark complexion and Marwang was on the same roster and riveted my attention. The conversation during our shoot was insightful; I was curious to know what kind of projects he typically worked on and whether the industry really understood how to … [Read more...]

Joe Giacomet Tell Me about the images. Notvery Athletic is a joint collaboration between myself and art director Mark Denton. Mark and I have worked together numerous times and the idea for this started as a tiny element to drop into a commercial job we were pitching on. The thought of a funny soccer card in the back of an advert- this was the idea that started it all. A few months later, Mark and I decided to shoot a comedy soccer player. From there, we thought we should do a few more and then two years down the line, we’ve got 9 teams, a tonne of images and a … [Read more...]

Forbes India Creative Director and Photographer: Anjan Das Heidi: Did you shoot and series and then curate this work? Anjan: I have been brainstorming in my head about this idea (Against all odds), revolving around how the livelihood of people have been affected during this pandemic. How to approach the subjects? What would be that common link/connection? Prepared a storyboard, listed down some professions which were badly hit & people who were associated with it. Started to connect with all of them, followed by brief phone conversations and lining up the shoots … [Read more...]

  Part 1: The Intro   Donald Trump has unleashed secret police upon America. For all my repeated criticism of the man, over many years, that is not a sentence I ever thought I’d write. But here we are. They are secret, because their uniforms are unmarked, and they have apparently been pulling people off the street into unmarked vans in Portland. Now, he’s sending them to cities like Chicago and Albuquerque, because he sees his best shot at re-election dependent upon an uprising of Red State voters, who fear for their lives. (By implying that urban … [Read more...]

Believe it or not, the “levitation” photo above isn’t a multi-shot composite. Some lighting equipment was removed from the edge of the frame, but the main image of the woman “floating” above the water is actually a single exposure. It simply took some patience to capture it just right in-camera. The photo was shot by photographer Robbie Harvey, and we first spotted it on DIY Photography. When we reached out to the photographer yesterday, Harvey was kind enough to share some BTS images and details about the photo—as he explained over … [Read more...]
