The set design in this editorial celebrating the London Olympics is amazing. It appears that all the backdrops are made out of construction paper, beautifully draped and perfectly crinkled. I'm still trying to figure out the white material; if it is paper of something else, but the way it photographs against the set is stunning. It's hard to capture such energy and movement in a still shot, but the photographer certainly achieved it. The diving shot is spectacular, and I'm assuming took a lot of editing to create, but I'm assuming the others were shot normally. I love the mix of modern and classic in the biking photograph, as the beautiful, sleek, modern helmet fits in surprisingly well amongst the pretty pink background and old-fashioned bicycle. The models do a good job of bringing energy, but the real star of this shoot is the art direction and set design. There's not much to say about these photos, they're simply clean, elegant, and absolutely gorgeous.
