The New York Times Magazine Stunt School 2026

Description

This editorial photograph for The New York Times Magazine project Stunt School captures a dramatic moment during stunt training outdoors. A performer is captured mid-air in a leaping motion, suspended above a black inflatable landing airbag. To the right, a large orange scissor lift stands prominently, with a crew member visible on its platform. Several other individuals stand on the ground watching the jump near closed loading bay doors of an industrial building. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight with warm sunlight casting long shadows across the paved ground.
