Lot Essay

This print is number 5 from the sold-out edition of 10.

This image was shot on location in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia for Levi's. Winther and a team of 20 professionals coached the models, outfitted with lead shoes, on the art of riding sharks. This image of a man catching a ride on a massive predator was made without digital manipulation and combines visual elegance with danger -- a characteristic approach in Winther's works.
