"Bike Trial in the Pacific"
Bárbara Ramos Villalobos
Bike Trial is a discipline of mountain biking in which the rider attempts to pass through an obstacle, natural or man-made, without setting foot to the ground with a special bicycle (for instance, it doesn't have a seat). It's referred to practicing parkour, but with a bike.
"Bike Trial in the Pacific" was a photographic project that I had been planning since March of 2017 and finally came to be in March of 2018. The main objective was to take advantage of nature and turistic spots that one can find in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, México making it a great challenge to overcome for "TtBoy", a bike trial rider from México City who was unfamiliar with Puerto Vallarta and had never seen the multiple places where he could practice his sport. This is the result of this adventure.

A day with Alex Honnold
Jason Gould
This was one of those rare opportunities in a career when you get to photograph someone who truly inspires you to your core. I was able to spend the day up in some climbing crags outside Mt. Hood, Oregon photographing Alex on an assignment for The North Face. Beyond his unbelievable accomplishments I was so curious about his mind, his thoughts and what makes him tick. My goal was to capture a true portrait of Alex up close and personal that would allow the viewer to really feel connected and able to contemplate the passion and depth of character of one of the most unique and groundbreaking athletes of our time.

Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. Once a game between neighbors to celebrate a good harvest, horse racing in Sumbawa was transformed into a spectator sport by the Dutch in the 20th century to entertain officials and nobility. The unique features of Sumbawa racing, are the notoriously small horses and the fearless child jockeys, aged 5-10, who mount bareback, barefoot and with little protective gear. Today, Maen Jaran takes place during every important festival and holiday throughout the year at racetracks across the island and remains a favorite pastime Sumbawans.

Whenever I go to rodeos, it's packed with shutterbugs roaming around, because It's an amazing sport to shoot. The challenge as a photographer is to capture it in a way that is fresh. Sure, I get plenty of pics of belt buckles and spurs, but I also don't mind squatting down in the dirt and... whatever...

Pyongyang, North Korea. At the Taekwando Palace in Pyongyang, a group of athletes simultaneously execute a tul, a series of offensive and defensive techniques against one or several virtual adversaries. A tul is the equivalent of a kata or pattern of moves in Karate. There are 24 tuls, one for every hour of the day. In the foreground, stacks of tiles and (30 x 30 cm) pieces of wood that the athletes will break with their hands and feet in order to demonstrate kyok-pa, the art of breaking boards, bricks and tiles.

Kushti
Alain Schroeder
India,
Kushti is a traditional form of Indian wrestling. Practiced in an Akhara, the wrestlers, under the supervision of a guru, dedicate their bodies and minds to Kushti on average for 6 to 36 months. Wearing only a well-adjusted loincloth (langot), wrestlers or Pelwhans enter a pit made of clay, often mixed with salt, lemon and ghee (clarified butter). This clay, representing Mother Earth is renewed every 2 years. Before every match, each wrestler covers the body of his adversary with this earth. During combat, the coated bodies meld with the color of the arena. It is also a spiritual quest and a spartan lifestyle that requires rigorous discipline as in all martial arts. Experienced wrestlers set the example and transmit their skills in the pit and in the community to younger boys (7-8 years old) and new recruits, whereby promoting camaraderie, respect, solidarity and fraternity.
