For over five months I haven’t blogged at all. That is not only because my baby girl Mila was born and I was busy staring at that little mensch and changing the diapers and all. It was also because I photographed the whole time for the new VISA campaign for the Olympics 2012 in London. July, September, November, December. Many great athletes in USA and EUROPE needed to be covered. Athletes from Russia, China, USA, New Zealand. Each one with a unique and interesting story. What can I say, it was a blast! Since this campaign starts early in 2012 I wasn’t allowed to show any footage at all. Below you see the olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin who we met near Dallas to spend a day with her. Although the whole campaign was shot digital I used my 4×5 Linhof camera to take some polaroids as well. It has been a really wonderful time with all these athletes. Of course being a waterpolo player, the day with Michael Phelps and the shooting out side, in and under water was for sure a highlight of my career. As soon as the campaign is out I will post the real campaign images here.
A wonderful and very different 2011 lays behind us. A year of transformation and new visions. I must say I am so excited about this 2012. I can feel it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
