The Swim
special order item for NIKE
毎シーズン人気を博す、NIKEの別注スイムショーツが今年もリリースとなる。エディフィスの豊富なラインアップのなかでも、機能美とデザイン性を兼ね備えるヒットアイテムのひとつだ。今年も例に漏れず猛暑が予想されるが、この夏は久しぶりに、息苦しい日々を抜け出して一夏の思い出作りに興じて欲しい。海辺のコテージで履くのもよし、アクティブシーンやフェスで汚れてもすぐに洗えばいい。勿論、海で自由に履きこなすのもよし。少しお早めに、水陸両用の相棒をクローゼットに迎えておくことをお薦めする。
One morning, still a bit chilly, I arrived at a seaside house-studio with a pool.The ocean in front of us was lined with regular surfers, probably looking for the best opportunity to surf the waves of their choice.
As preparations for the shoot gradually progressed, the temperature rose and the models became more cheerful and conversational.They started playing basketball and updating their Instagram accounts, each relaxing as they proceeded with their hair and makeup.
Finally, the shoot was about to begin.
First up was WADE, a bright young man who was very excited from the morning.His communication was smooth and pleasant.He also has a brave side, jumping into the pool without a single complaint.
Next up is SEBASTIAN, a man whose muscularity is truly aptly described. He is a tough guy with a cool side that leaves a good impression. After pumping up for the photo shoot, his well-developed muscles were spurred on and his silhouette became even clearer.
With the sun in full swing, the contrast of the shadows by the pool is becoming clearer. The staff is now relaxed and in a good mood.
We decided to take the shot indoors once, and decided to have MAC put on a T-shirt. I thought he had good instincts, and his answers to my pose requests were precise and the shooting proceeded smoothly and without hesitation.
The fourth person is KISARA's turn. He was particularly low-tension this morning, partly because he had been sick the day before. He was not feeling well for some reason, but his expression relaxed a little after playing basketball, which is his forte. After an easy dunk shot, he somehow started to talk more and his body seemed to warm up. His arms and legs were long and stylish, and his emotionless expression was nice without being overly determined.
After a long wait, ABHAY was the last to arrive, with an innocent expression and lean body balance that tightened up once the photo shoot began. He was a classy boy. He ended up diving into the pool several times, and was even willing to try a bit of a dangerous shot at the end.
After the shoot, we all left the studio with take-out hamburgers from a nearby café. Once again, it was a pleasure to shoot with such great models and staff, and I thank everyone for their support.
