《The Body Issue》為美國運動雜誌《ESPN》所推出的「專業運動員全裸寫真」特輯,通過裸體攝影藝術的方式來展現專業運動員健美的身形和力量之美。自2009年開始,《ESPN》每年都會邀請多項不同運動的明星球員,以全裸之姿呈現他們各自的運動項目並進行拍攝,鏡頭下的他們除了展現運動員該有的無瑕體態及線條,同時也將「力」與「美」完美結合於靜態的照片中,傳達出其背後強而有力的故事。
《The Body Issue》(年度運動大賞)2018年是第10個年頭,至今已有超過200位運動員曾參與拍攝,其中不乏各運動領域的精英好手,像是NBA的Dwyane Wade、UFC的Conor McGregor、女網巨星Serena Williams等等......透過裸體藝術,運動員們回歸人類最初始的自然樣貌,傳達最純粹的故事與信念,詮釋什麼才是至美身材,展示的是運動給人類身體帶來的力與美,不分性別、年齡和膚色。鼓勵人們進一步探索身體蘊含的能力,同時接受其缺點和挑戰,激發大眾對於體育意義的深入思考。
為了讓大家認同主旨「The Body We Want」,每年ESPN都會號召各類型運動的運動好手,全都是當前最夯的籃球員、拳擊手、橄欖球員與排球員等等,包括NBA球星「閃電俠」Dwyane Wade和女籃球員Elena Delle Donne、NFL橄欖球員Vince Wilfork、Antonio Brown和Von Miller、UFC羽量級冠軍Conor McGregor、沙灘排球員April Ross等等,以及首位入選美國國家隊的變性男運動員Chris Mosier,也是第一位ESPN全裸出鏡的變性人,一直深受喜愛的《The Body Issue》特輯,甚至有不少運動員都主動表示想參與!
在這個普世價值認定女性就是要纖瘦、男性就是要有健壯的身體曲線才是美的時代,邀請許多不同項目專長的運動員,由於不同種類的運動項目,在對於運動員身形和肌肉的塑造也都不盡相同,《ESPN》直接透過裸體藝術,展現出各種不同型態,最自然的身體。並且透過這些運動員們背後的故事與信念,傳達的不單單是他們外在風採,還有他們的內在,展現出各種不同型態的美與格調。
在多名勇於突破自我的運動員和精銳的攝影團體幫助下,該雜誌首次亮相便迅速確立了自己的文化。從那時起,它便超脫了攝影圖集的定位,也成為了一個強大的故事講述平臺,一個供運動員分享實力和直面弱點的論壇。
本期,讓我們來感受一下ESPN《The Body Issue 2018》運動明星全裸寫真。
