Epson has teamed up with Manchester United and renowned
photographer Walter Iooss to capture spectacular high-resolution images of the
team's star footballers.
The latest challenge for Iooss, who is known globally for
his iconic shots of stars such as Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali and Tiger Woods
and for five decades of work with Sports Illustrated magazine, was to take
studio still shots of some of the biggest names in world football. The results
were remarkable, as Iooss used a Hasselblad H4D 60 and Hasselblad lenses to
sublimely capture the intensity, determination, and raw power of players
including Wayne Rooney (England), Shinji Kagawa (Japan), David De Gea (Spain)
and Javier Hernandez (Mexico).
"With our rich heritage in photo printing we were
very excited by this opportunity to collaborate with Walter Iooss, one of the
world's greatest photographers," said Ian Cameron, general manager
responsible for global communications at Epson. "And as the Official
Office Equipment Partner of Manchester United we saw synergies among parties
who are truly at the top of their game. Our state-of-the-art photo printers
more than do justice to these fantastic works of art, which I am sure will
excite and inspire our customers worldwide."
Beginning this autumn the images will be rolled out to Epson Group
companies worldwide for use in print samples and other promotional materials.
