TOM VAN SCHELVEN CATCHES WORLD CUP FEVER FOR NIKE

Tom van Schelven photographed elite Nike athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, Ronaldinho, Sam Kerr, and Alex Morgan—as well as a number of talent cast as soccer players—for a wild World Cup-themed campaign by Nike. 

In “Footballverse,” digital wizardry brings together past and current soccer stars who compete to see who’s truly the best. Working swiftly in a studio set up alongside the campaign's accompanying TV commercial, Tom captured action-packed portraits that were used in visually dynamic ads appearing everywhere. Lucas Garrido, a pro at shooting captivating stills on a TV set, also joined for part of the shoot.
