The image was taken during the final of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Championship in Bilbao, on September 14, 2019, next to the Guggenheim Museum. In it, a diver rises above the corners of the museum forming his own angle, establishing an analogy between his body and the silhouette of the museum, while also establishing a scale relationship between the building and the person. The aim is to highlight this analogy, emphasizing the scale between man and building, showing how man redesigns his environment, projecting it onto the building. The image was captured by measuring the lights to extract detail from them, while in post-processing, the shadows were illuminated and contrasted to later extract details from the sky and balance the dynamic range of the image. The image of the diver is slightly underexposed to make it stand out and match the shadow tones of the surroundings
