i6iaga_eo2a - Infrared Photography on Hive

Hi eveyone,

I hope the week-end break was great and ya'll are in a good shape to face this brand new business week.

During summer, I attended to a Hip-Hop contest sponsored by a big supermaket brand here in France (E. Leclerc). It's named "Hip-Hop Talents" and the goal is to find underrated graffiti artists, rappers & dancers.

I met Ratz One, a friend of mine who's a graffiti artist. He won the competition here in Nantes last year. He hooked me up with a lot of people.

We took seat and watched the contest. I was really inpressed by Tinaa who litterally killed the rap contest!!! I was amazed by the dance skills of a young fellow named Issiaga Keita a.k.a. i6iaga_eo2a. He danced like his life was depending on it, giving all he had at every round. During round #1, he won the battle against R.One!!! This breakdancer is a member of the Hotmilk breaking crew and a national team member(!). i6iaga passed every rounds and he won the battle without any discussion.

Few days later, we met by accident in my neighbourhood : he was doing an outdoor hip-hop class in front of the Fine Arts school. I don't beleive in luck so I guess it was written that we would meet again quickly. The vibe was right so we quickly decided to meet a couple of days after to do a photoshooting together. The session was great, we took a lot of fun and we got really nice content (IR photos and videos). Here's a sample of what will be shared here during the following weeks :

1/1250s 24mm f/4 400 ISO

1/1250s 24mm f/4 400 ISO

1/1250s 24mm f/4 800 ISO

These pictures were taken at the very end of the session. As the sun was really low, light was not super bright but it worked really well. i6iaga is a machine, he never stops dancing!!! If the sunset didn't come, he wouldn't have stopped.
