El Profesor Solar By Nacho Galar for Ñacañaca Productions
The life of the mexican luchador (wrestler) who has fought professionally for over 30 years. Still active with an extensive career as an independent wrestler. This work tells the story of a time where the sport is an alternative to movies or Santo Blue Demon, where names such as Solitaire, René Guajardo and Cuauhtémoc Velasco "El Diablo" are the key pieces in Mexican history as luchística (wrestling) teachers generations. Solar recounts his passages through the rings and the people they lived. The interviews portray him as an individual rather than the character of his mask, two different people in one body, the perfect idea of the split personality.

10 Things You Wouldn’t Know About This Photo (Unless We Told You)
1. Apocalypse Wow
“The idea was to visualize a post-apocalyptic world where young people reassert their individuality by putting together pieces of clothing and making it chic,” says Indrani. “It really came together when we saw the location we were shooting at.”
2. Heavy Metal
That big steel object is not a flying saucer, but a piece of machinery at an abandoned military base near Palm Springs, California. “The movie studios often use this place as a location for science-fiction films,” says Klinko.
3. Deadline, EOD
The team spent most of the day shooting actor Jason Statham for another magazine, then made this shot at the end of the day. “We had 45 minutes from start to finish before the sun went down,” says Indrani.
4. Girl Models
The team spent the previous day casting at various Los Angeles agencies. “Most were very young, like 15, so that meant their mothers were also there,” says Klinko.
5. Boy Model
The lone boy in the shot was found shopping at a Palm Springs supermarket prior to the session.
6. Dust in the Wind
The clothes were styled to look haphazard, but cool. Just before Klinko began shooting, he asked the models to rub dust in their hair to look authentically disheveled.
7. Light Show
“We put a ton of light inside the big metal thing,” says Klinko. “We had lamp heads and battery packs all over the place.”
8. Camera Trick
This is really two photos. Klinko shot with a Fujifilm GX680 medium-format SLR with a special adapter that allowed him to shoot two separate images—one of the scene’s right half by sliding the back to the left, the other of the left half by sliding the back to the right—without repositioning or pivoting his camera. The two perfectly aligned frames were then stitched together in post-production. “That gave me a single image with a huge amount of visual quality,” says Klinko.
9. Teamwork Matters
Klinko and Indrani were once romantically linked but are no longer; nevertheless they have managed to maintain a fruitful professional partnership. “But we argue all the time,” says Klinko. “She hates it when I use complicated cameras. She wants me to keep everything simple.”
10. Editing Is Hard
While Klinko and Indrani loved this image, V chose a different one by them. “So it’s published here for the first time,” says Klinko.
