Form Minus Context in Beach Volleyball Photos
While sports photography routinely captures the game’s peak moments and key plays, this black-and-white series of pictures, on display at the restaurant Aux Epices, treats the genre differently. In “Beach Volleyball Pros,” photographer Carl Glassman focuses entirely on the player’s form by rendering the background black. The resulting imagery is often as akin to dance as it is to sport. Glassman photographed the players during the AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) tournament held in June on Piers 25 and 26 in Tribeca.
