Panda bear…race…baton…

What I enjoy most about this series is the thought that this photo shoot probably didn’t all happen in one take. i.e. Photographer: I need you to get your nose as far forward as possible at the finish line. It’s the biggest race of your life! Panda bear: How about I swoosh my arms back too to give the effect that I’m really going for it? Photographer: Yeah, yeah. Perfect. AGAIN, from the top!

Trivia: Did you notice that the panda bear didn’t have the baton at the end of the race? A disgruntled photographer grabbed it off the bear in an earlier take and flung it away, thus making it impossible to use in the finish line shot!

This is what Istock came up with I put in a search for death as a concept. Why would you do that I hear you ask in unison well I’m doing a logo for an undertaker *citing. Anyhu my fav is the guy with the head in the lions mouths.

Followed by the guy who’s legs are widely spread heading straight for the tree. That’s gonna hurt.
