Assigned by FIT FOR FUN magazine I was eye-witnessing and portraying the preparations of Herbert Nitsch‘s Apnoe world record attempt called “BREITLING Extreme 800″. His goal is no less than diving down more than 240m in his own designed and developed, torpedo-shaped underwater sled:

Making-Of Mountainbike Photo shooting, Innsbruck, 04/2012

20 hours packed with action: from getting up really early at night catching the morning light to the 2200m high mountain very very breezy bike snow shoot. Eventually finding our place of places in the blue hour of the day with the stunning mountainous landscape in the background.

Overall we’ve been happy receiving the permission to shoot in this outrageous, organic-like architecture. Here come some making-of shots:

Photo shooting for ARENA, Tenerife, Canary Islands, 02/2012

Andy Fox — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 20:43:09 +0000

Back from a super-intense ARENA photoshoot at the training camp of the German Olympic swimming team on Tenerife Island.

It’s been mind-blowing seeing guys like Paul Biedermann or Marco di Carli pacing through the pool. Or even hitting it hard in the swimming channel at a counter-current of 2.5 meters.

Marco Di Carli as well inspired and encouraged me trying some new underwater angles and perspectives.

Best moment definitely was being asked by one of the top swimmers if I can swim. So I had to pull up my reputation the next day by lying on the ground of the pool for 2 minutes waiting for the water surface becoming flat and glassy.

Photo shooting for ‘Fit for Fun’ magazine, Santorini, Greece, 10/2011

Andy Fox — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:25:31 +0000

My Apnoe-addiction got a sequel when ‘Fit for Fun’ – magazine rang me up to cover the preparations and testing of Herbert Nitsch’s brandnew, yellow- painted underwater rocket-sled on the beautiful island of Santorini in Greece.

Accompanied by text editor Gunnar we spent an incredible and stunning day on Herbert’s catamaran.

The entire story will be published in ‘Fit for Fun’ – magazine, issue June or July 2012 parallel to Herbert Nitsch’s official world record attempt – backed up by his sponsor BREITLING – when he aims to crack the 250m barrier in depth.

Due to that postponed publication date I unfortunately cannot post any high end photos.

Instead I’ll provide some ‘Making-Of’ – shots:
