NEXT WAVE: New York

Submerged in New York with Giovanni Corabi.

For VMAN 43, we enlisted seven photographers and artists to travel the globe to capture the best of spring swimwear. This wave, are brought to the familiar shores of the concrete jungle, none other than New York City, where photographer Giovanni Corabi lensed João Knorr in Fendi swim.
Initially inspired by underwater photographs, Gianni decided that it would be the most interesting way for him to approach this project. He explains,”I wanted to create a set of images that could work well in a fashion context but also as stand-alone fine art photos.” He continued, “João was great on the shoot as well, he was excited by the idea of shooting in a pool and open to trying things out.”

NEXT WAVE, now a part of the CreatiVity program, is a hub where photographers are encouraged to submit their work to be discovered. Corabi also emphasized the importance of individuality for up and coming photographers. “I think it’s important to find your own voice, taking a very personal approach to the projects you work on. Stylistically, but more importantly conceptually. Creating a narrative that is authentic is the best way to stand out and build your own space.”

Head to the CreatiVity page to submit your photographic and video work to be considered for a feature in the NEXT WAVE.
