Butch Reynolds X EPSN 30 for 30: False Positive

My earliest memory of the Olympics was watching the summer games in 1988. I remember being mesmerized by the South Korean flag, which I drew in the margins of every school notebook I had. My father was a massive sports fan— specifically anything involving Ohio State— so I’d heard all about @butchreynoldsofficial , who was not only representing OSU in Seoul, but went on to take home a silver and a gold…

Bill Fioritto, one of the creative director at Fahlgren, came up with the concept of a group of students (aka student body) all posing together to create the shape of lungs, to accompany the tagline: keeping student bodies healthy. Since we were in the middle of a pandemic I suggested that we shoot 8 different models in a range of poses and outfits that could be composited together later on. I thought that it’d be advantageous to book dancers as half of the roles since they could offer much more dynamic poses, giving us more options when it came to compositing the final image. Thanks to all the models for doing an amazing job, as well as to Ryan Wyss, the composite artist. Finally, thank you to Bill and the rest of the team at Fahlgren Mortine. This was a really cool project to work on.

I learned to use every inch of that studio and gear…
