Ali Engin’s photos of athletes in motion are elegant and graceful, even under the most grim and grimy circumstances. His photo of Seven-sponsored rider Mo Bruno Roy dashing up a set of stairs against a vast blue sky, surrounded by onlookers, captured the dramatic tension of top-level cyclocross so well we decided to make a poster of it. To us, his image says it all about the essence of racing cyclocross; painful yet exhilarating, terrible but beautiful.
Ali’s pictures always make dramatic and dynamic use of light. Colors burst through his lense. His unique style sets him apart from many other talented photographers working at our favorite events, and we were lucky to be able to work with him on this project.
