Corbis taps photographer Jason Joyce to create stylized women in sports images
Corbis, one of the world’s largest stock licensing companies, has released a new set of imagery featuring futuristic women in sports just in time for the Summer Olympic games in Beijing. To create these images Corbis Art Director Martin Yates worked with acclaimed photographer Jason Joyce to produce imagery of women fencers, swimmers, archers, weight-lifters, soccer players and others in high concept futuristic settings. The images have been carefully retouched to give the photos a clean, vibrant and surreal look.
“With the summer games in Beijing approaching, we wanted to create something fresh and different that appeals to creatives looking for an alternative vision,” said Joyce. “I’m really proud of this work and the way it breaks down preconceived notions of beauty and athletics.”
“Our creative research consistently finds that there is a lot of demand for imagery featuring women in sports, and this new collection celebrates female athletes in a way that is undoubtedly compelling and unique,” said Yates. “The atmosphere for the shoot was inspired by science fiction movies like Aeon Flux and transports us to another time and place.”
