“We shot 3 nights in a row from sunset to sunrise at the OWC, Orlando Watersports Complex,” explains Rochon. The boundaries dividing sport and art are blurred in this collaboration in an effort to capture the inherent emotion and creativity of athleticism.

For Rochon, the set-up and planning were extensive, but the motivation while shooting was simple: “Focus on the art, the creativity, and the beauty,” said Rochon, mid-shoot. Fortunately for him, he knew he could rely on the riders to offer performances worthy of the occasion. “The riders are so fluid in the water, and they understand naturally what we are trying to do here,” he added.
