COOPH partnered up with WhiteWall to bring you Will Saunder's winning photograph to your home. These prints are highly limited and come with a certificate of authenticity.
Will had shot so called whippers many times, but this time he wanted to not only challenge himself but also his friend Jake. Whilst taking the fall Jake stroke a pose reminiscent of a superhero. The powerful position of Jake with the vast Utah desert in the backround make this photograph a perfect WhiteWall print.
