Wade into Slow-Motion Suspension and Anticipation in the Radiant Film ‘Divers’

Through the atmospheric lens of New York-based photographer Geordie Wood, a short film called “Divers” glimpses a day in the life of an elite high-diving camp. A moody yet bright setting evokes the way sun still glares when tucked behind clouds or glints off the surface water, and individuals are alternately silhouetted and spotlit by its glow.

With cinematography by Adam Golfer and editing by Luke Lorentzen, film short “documents the restless anticipation of walking to the platform’s edge and the fleeting serenity found in jumping.” Watch below, a find it on Vimeo. You might also enjoy the 2017 film “Ten Meter Tower.”
