This photo series by Thomas Prior is a personal project that he has been wanting to begin work on for eight years. Titled ‘Handball’ it’s a series about the handball players of New York, a skilled, agile and athletic bunch. Thomas Prior captures the implied power of their aggressive and energetic postures thanks to images shot from tricky angles under the scorching sun. This is just a preview of more to come, so keep an eye on his Instagram to see the series develop further. Thomas Prior has previously worked for Vice, New York Magazine, Vogue.com and got interested in photography after winning a Pentax K1000 with a drawing contest when he was thirteen.
