Heinz Tesarek
Michael Muller Though he mainly photographs Hollywood celebrities these days, the first picture that Muller had published, in 1976, when he was 16, was of a snowboarder. So working with Lindsey Vonn felt a little like returning to his roots. “I’ve taken a lot of pictures of athletes over the last 28 years, but the shoot with Lindsey was really great,” he says. “Her personality is like her skiing style – fast and fun. It was a pleasure to capture that.” Muller’s Vonn direction unfolds on page 54.
Graeme Murray Before taking pictures of Jed Mildon and his record-breaking jumps on a BMX, Murray got his hands dirty helping him with the digging of dirt jumps. “I just wanted to get the shot,” says Murray. “I was excited to see what he could do.” Murray has represented NZ in downhill mountain biking, but nothing could prepare him for Mildon’s feats. “It was nerve-racking waiting for him to drop in to this huge ramp. Jed never tells you what trick he is going to attempt; you just have to be ready to shoot.” The results are on page 46.

An awardwinning reportage photographer who has worked in war zones, Tesarek was delighted to shoot in the Kamaz factory, in the Russian republic of Tartasan, where the world’s best racing trucks are made. “I used to live in Moscow, so it was good to be back in the country,” he says. “U-turns on the highways and the smell of freedom.” Kamaz are perennial winners at the Dakar Rally, where Tesarek shot the course makers for a story in The Red Bulletin in 2012. His new work begins on page 78.

david coulthard In Cuba, for the Havana Classic Car Rally, the former Formula One driver was impressed by his 50-year-old Pontiac and the men who maintain it, in a country where auto parts are scarce, but the love of cars is strong. “My mechanics, who are all Formula One guys, were amazed by what they saw,” says DC. “It’s the flipside of F1, a different kind of innovation.” One thing baffled him, though. “Did the car have brakes? I’m not sure. Maybe bits of wood for brake pads.” There’s more on page 32.
“ Driving a car in Havana feels like you’re in a time warp” david coulthard
