The moon … revisited in 2009
In 1969 the Apollo 11 mission took the first men and first Hasselblad camera to the Moon.
Exactly 40 years later, a Belgian team of creative minds undertook a new – artistic – trip to the same lunar landscapes to celebrate and commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first man – and first images – on the Moon.
The team, lead by photographer Mike Van Cleven and photo retoucher Mieke Geenen, aimed at producing 12 unique images that mixed art, fashion and the original photos from on the Moon, taken in 1969 by the Apollo 11 crew.
But, now 40 years later, using a new generation of Hasselblad digital mid format camera.
Earth is calling…
Creative team:
