Popping Monsters
Popping Monster: Millions Guns
My buddy Dave (who regularly assists me as "Honorable Pusher of Buttons" on my World of One shoots), asked me recently if I’d be interested in turning him into a Popping Monster. While I am much less familiar with the intricacies of Popping than I am with Breaking, I was up for the challenge and excited to venture into new territory. Dave also insisted on making a behind the scenes video of the entire operation, which I’ve included here as well. Hope you guys enjoy!

BBoy Monster: El Nino
BBoy Monster: El Nino, Vitruvian BBoy
Happy new year everyone! Trying set this year off right, today I unveil my latest creation.
Behold! The BBoy Monster: El Nino!!!
If you're a bboy, this guy needs no introduction. If you're a bboy and you've never heard of him, then you're doin' it wrong! El Nino has been a dominating figure in the bboy scene for over a decade...which is ridiculous when you consider the fact that he's barely old enough to drink! It's pretty difficult to overstate his bboy credentials. At age 11 he teamed up with Kmel of the legendary Boogie Brats crew to win Lords of the Floor (the precursor to Redbull BC One, for many the most coveted title in bboying). At age 19 he became the youngest recipient of the Spy Award (breaking's equivalent of a lifetime achievement award) given by the Rocksteady Crew. Showing no signs of slowing down he continues to travel the world teaching workshops, entering jams, and smashing/inspiring bboys' dreams everywhere.
I felt both an honored and humbled to be able to work with him on these pictures. While there are definitely some glaring technical mistakes in terms of the photography here (my old studio lighting teacher is probably pulling her hair out right now). In terms of creating the illusion of one body with multiple limbs working together, I think this was one of my more successful attempts.
