L'Équipe Nº4 - Under Water Indigo - Thomas Tukker
November 20, 2009
On Friday 20 November 2009 Denim Inspired Boutique Tenue de Nîmes celebrates its 1 year anniversary with the launch of an exhibition called 'Under Water Indigo' by Thomas Tukker. All the images of the exhibition have been shot under water and refer to the authentic indigo bath. By combining the pureness of this classic colouring method with the beauty of the female body in work wear, the photographer refers to the paradoxical identity of the denim cloth. By emphasizing this paradox the exposition embraces the most important starting point of the Tenue de Nîmes store: the beauty, but also the diversity of denim.
Thomas Tukker is a Dutch fashion photographer with a strong fascination for water. Thomas started his career as a professional diver, and his experience as a diver helped him become an internationally respected underwater photographer too. Over the course of more than a decade, Thomas mainly worked abroad, but after fourteen years in places such as Miami, Milan and New York, he finally returned to Amsterdam, his city of birth.
