The Undefeated

"Black Folk are
Football fans too
I collaborated with Delcan & Co to fabricate and shoot this lead image for The Undefeated.
Starting from the original concept art,
I developed a multi-part stencil system
to spray-paint the design onto large-cell foam sheets. I used a numbering system to ensure perfect alignment and used pins to secure each section during the painting process. To achieve the clean, layered look of the glove, I hand-cut the foam using a hot-wire tool.
Once the physical elements were laid out in-camera, I stenciled the yard lines onto the AstroTurf. I intentionally applied a forced perspective to the sidelines to create a sense of depth and add more dynamic energy to the final composition.
