Up in the air with Antoine Rose

'The Beach'
‘The Beach’

Antoine Rose is a photographer that goes through great lengths to capture the perfect photograph. Obviously, he’s not one to shy away from dangerous situations to capture spectacular views, because Rose is exploring great heights to show us a world without any limitations. For his latest work ‘The Beach’, he got on a helicopter (without doors!) 300 feet up in the air to shoot his newest series of pictures.

‘The Beach’ captures the smaller details, literally and figuratively. It’s a portrait of people casually spending a day at the beach with family and friends. But of course there’s a deeper meaning to this series. The beautiful thing about these photographs is that you can’t identify the people on them. From up high they all look the same no matter what race, class, skin color, height, body image or ability they can all be seen through the same objective lens. Making each and every one of them as authentic as the other, creating a peaceful image of people enjoying the same scenery without any distinctions. Rose himself calls it a testament to the leisure of the American summer lifestyle.

His extraordinary work was nominated for the BLOOOM Award by WARSTEINER, an initiative sponsored by the family-owned brewery WARSTEINER, giving young artist the opportunity to present themselves to the international art market. Participants from all around the globe whose works blur the lines between arts, design, fashion, urban art, advertising, video and architecture get the chance to show their creative work to a jury, each one of them already being an expert in their field in the creative industry. It’s the perfect stepping stone for emerging creatives.

Next week, the application period for BLOOOM Award by WARSTEINER 2015 begins. Every creative is invited to send in work for consideration. Feeling inspired to participate in this contest? Well then gather up your courage and keep an eye on BLEND\BUREAUX for further information.
