Gerhard Riebicke Day


Our Friday series features the work of German photographer Gerhard Riebicke.
We start with a man on tiptoes with a javelin behind his back.

  1. A wonderful series, Jerry, thank you. I assume photographing groups like this, Riebicke had a huge choice of models and naked sporting activities to record.

    1. You're welcome, David! Riebicke did have wide range of potential models.

  2. Any thoughts on why he was on tiptoe?

    1. Not sure, but I think it tenses certain muscles for visual impact. Having said that, I don't really see the effect here.
