Alaska Native art on an unexpected canvas.
Artist Rico Worl () brought his vibrant formline design to a Dodge Charger hood, painting the piece live at Hot Import Nights at the Dena’ina Center in downtown Anchorage.
After being wrapped by CCA Motorsports, I had the opportunity to take the finished hood out of the studio and photograph it in one of my favorite environments, a parking garage.
Concrete, texture, shadow, hard light. Parking garages have a mood I’ve always loved, and the contrast against Rico’s color and form made this one especially fun to photograph.
Working around beautiful art constantly pushes my photography, and this shoot presented a different challenge: stepping outside the controlled environment of the studio, finding the light, and letting the location become part of the image.
Beautiful work by Rico Worl. Check out and for more.
Prints coming soon.
