Synopsis

For about three years Sebastian Denz has been travelling through Europe to shoot a series of 3D photographs in a quality never seen before. Featuring the Carhartt skate team and inspired by virtual spaces, this oversized volume brings the culture of skateboarding to life, while exploring the possibilities of 3D photography. Denz built his own 8 x 10 inch large-format-stereo camera to take these spatial pictures, and received the International BFF, Germany's freelance photographers' award for the project. The book SKATEBOARDING.3D won several awards including the DDC award “gold medal” and the iF communication design award “gold”. It is nominated for the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany—the country's highest distinction in the field of design. Four pairs of special glasses and a slipcase are part of this remarkable book, which is a companion volume to a traveling exhibition of Denz's work. Texts by Martin Roman Deppner, Klaus Honnef, Gottfried Jäger and Sebastian Denz

About this title

Review

'Denz's images, documenting the Carhartt team of professional skaters, hook into the dynamism of skateboarding by seeming to spill out of the page, kickflipping his action shots into a different space' --Metro London, December 2009

'...Sebastian Denz's collection of pictures is actually a rare example of an intelligent application of 3D'. --HUH Magazine, April 2010
