Film-maker Jacob Sutton had his subject, snowboarder William Hughes, kitted out with a custom LED suit, covering him from head to toe in hundreds and hundreds of little lights. Sutton filmed Hughes descending a slope in Tignes, in France’s Rhône-Alpes, over three pitch black nights—the only light source being the subject himself. Hughes appears a heavenly creature gracefully flying down a mountain in slow motion engulfed in light.
