Art Streiber’s “Ocean’s Eleven”-style shoot with basketball player Tippy Toe Joe for ESPN The Magazine

The thief-in-the-night concept for Art Streiber‘s recent ESPN The Magazine photo shoot with Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Johnson derived from the nickname Johnson earned for his sly moves on the court: Tippy Toe Joe. “The moniker is so perfect that we decided to bring it life in the first of a series of homages to those nickname-inspired posters made famous by John and Tock Costacos in the late ’80s,” explain the editors.

They sent Art a rough sketch of Tippy Toe Joe stealing a basketball from a posh gallery, à la Ocean’s Eleven. Then set designer Rob Strauss developed the idea, and Art brought it to life.

“Art was completely enthusiastic about the idea,” says the magazine’s director of photography, Karen Frank, in a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot at espn.go.com. “I chose Art not only because he’s a great photographer but he also loves a challenge and he’s a great collaborator.” Click on the screenshot below to read and see more.

Jorg Badura’s photos and portraits from the grueling “100-Mile Paddle” from Kingston, New York, to Manhattan

Kristina Feliciano — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 17:28:14 +0000

On July 20, a collection of hardy, determined souls set out to traverse the distance between Kingston, New York, to Manhattan by paddleboard in order to raise money for autism charities and clean-water initiatives. The 100-Mile Paddle, as the event is called, spans a grueling two days and attracts only the sturdiest of paddleboarders. Jorg Badura was there to document it and also shot portraits of the participants.

You can read his account of the 100-Mile Paddle at his blog. Below, some of his photos and portraits. To learn more about the 100-Mile Paddle, visit 100milepaddle.com, whose branding features many of Jorg’s photos from past events.

American Photo names Steven Lippman’s action portrait of Olympic sailor Anna Tunnicliffe one of 2012′s Images of the Year

Kristina Feliciano — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:23:57 +0000

Congratulations to Steven Lippman, whose action portrait of Olympic gold medalist Anna Tunnicliffe sailing rough seas in the nude—shot for ESPN The Magazine‘s Body Issue—was named one of 2012′s Images of the Year by American Photo.

A screenshot of Steven Lippman’s photo of Anna Tunnicliffe at the American Photo website. Click to see all of the magazine’s picks for 2012 Images of the Year.

Steven captured this shot, which was also a winner in PDN‘s The Shot contest in January, from a fishing boat. “Anna came at me at about 20 miles per hour and missed the boat by a foot, but she was in complete control,” he told American Photo‘s Michael Kaplan.

“For his part, Lippman had to angle his shots so as to strategically conceal Tunnicliffe’s nude form while he capitalized on a stormy backdrop and contended with a small-craft advisory,” Kaplan writes.

“I wanted a great picture,” Steven told Kaplan, “but I also wanted Anna to be safe and not demolish either of the boats.”
