Jacob Sutton, fashion photographer and filmmaker, has filmed snowboarder, William Hughes in the French Alps. Thing is, it’s filmed at night, and the snowboarder himself is the only source of light. The result is something else.
Hughes is wearing a bespoke snowboarding suit – consisting of thousands of LED lights, which stand in strong contrast to the white snow and complete darkness – it looks like something out of the movie TRON. Concerning the project, Sutton said: “I’ve always been excited by unusual ways of lighting things, so it seemed like an exciting idea to make the subject of the film the only light source.”
The result is haunting, surreal, and quite beautiful. In a word? Epic.
