For Jackstands, a recent collaboration with Jennifer Locke, we originally shot the models after they had been thrown off the side of a boat.  The initial photograph caught their bodies in the act of regaining equilibrium. The pose captured in the original photographic moment was recreated back in the studio, but atop a boat storage jack stand. The stands function as replacements for water, as surrogate landscapes.
