Artistic collaborations can only go two ways: perfect or bad. This example right here is incredibly perfect and it features two unusual types of artists: a photographer and a knitter. I’m not saying the artists themselves are unusual, but their collaboration is unheard of before. At least, I haven’t heard anything like this before.
Joseph Ford and Nina Dodd are the masterminds between this “Invisible Jumpers” series you’re going to see below. The series has been collected in a new book that will hit the US shelves on November 25. Joseph Ford is the photographer responsible for blending the model in the environment and creating that eye-popping camouflage effect that will leave you speechless. Nina is a very talented knitter who created the designs of these jumpers. Together, they had selected the best environments that would create the most stunning visual effects. They knew what to choose, design and photograph.
After seeing this, something struck me: we humans should blend naturally with nature. We are its children. We should wear this sort of jumpers under our skin and know how to be part of the environment. We should do more of that, don’t you think?
Just scroll down for some inspiration. This is what happens when a photographer and knitter collaborate. This is the sort of magic I’d like to see more often.
