Alongside the contract signing of Mexx Meerdink and Xavi Hak at Nike EMEA HQ, I had a short window to capture them beyond the moment itself. Working across the campus, street football court, and open field, the focus was on movement and identity.

Max’s portraits lean into strength and presence, referencing his power in the air, while Xavi’s images reflect speed and sharpness, capturing the energy of a young talent in motion. Dynamic, instinctive portraits that show the athlete behind the signing.

Thanks to Mexx and Xavi and to the Nike team for this collaboration.
