MARC AND DAVID present the experimental series ‘Brutus’ - created with eleven backgrounds in eleven different locations in three countries, at the perfect time for each

An unusual experiment is brought to us by the photographer team MARC UND DAVID with a playful approach to spatial separation and our usual visual perception. The focus is on a FORD ST and male model Jack D. Mensah c/o BRODY BOOKINGS, who was clad in Balenciaga and Prada.

‘Brutus’ is an experimental body of work that turns the usual process of photography on its head and takes it to extremes. Our daily work is all about timing, and sometimes it’s a real challenge to bring all elements of an image together in the same place at the same time.

It all starts with finding the perfect location where everything is just right. The background, the color, the floor, and the orientation of the location so you have the desired light at least once a day. This usually already determines the setting. Now you require talent, a stylist for the talent, and in our case as transportation photographers, we needed a car. All together in the same spot at the same perfect time.

For ‘Brutus’, we turned the procedure upside down. We stripped the images we wanted to shoot down to their individual elements: background, floor, talent, styling and car. We photographed all of the elements right where they were positioned at the time they were available. So we photographed eleven backgrounds in eleven different locations in three different countries, Germany, the Netherlands and Portugal – at the perfect time for each location.

Then we photographed a car in Munich and the talent in Rotterdam with outfits that were put together remotely by a stylist in Berlin. We captured different floors we thought were interesting wherever we found them. We made sure to photograph all elements for one final image from the same perspective so they would perfectly fit together.

In the end, we had four different photos for each motif. To illustrate our approach properly and take it to extremes again, we decided to print all four photos and arrange them physically. To do so, we cut out the elements very roughly so you could still see their original backgrounds and montaged them on top of one another at a distance to symbolize their spacial separation. The result: Eleven exceptional images that challenge our usual visual perception.”

Brutus is an experimental body of work turning over the usual procedure of photography and take it to the extreme. In our daily business it’s all about timing and sometimes it’s a real struggle to bring all elements of a picture to the same place at the same time. We striped down the images we wanted to shoot to its single elements, the background, the floor, the talent, the styling and the car. We photographed all these elements just where they were located at the time they were available. n the end we had for each motif, 4 different pictures. To fairly illustrate our approach and to take it to the extreme, we decided to print all 4 pictures and arrange them physically. Therefore we cut out the elements very roughly so you can still see their original background and putted them on top of each other with a distance to symbolize their spacial separation.
