Agua Viva: One With The Sea

 

 

Summer 2025 we created this portfolio of watermen and waterwomen called Água Viva for Costa Brazil, a sustainable beauty line created by Francisco Costa, and built on the simple belief that the spirit of beauty is found in harmony with nature.

The editorial series celebrated those who live in rhythm with the ocean – surfers, voyagers, paddlers, and sailors — exploring their deep connection to the ocean, and the rituals that keep them grounded, both in and out of the water.

 

AUSTIN KINO & TAMIKO CLAIRE

~~~~~~~~~

Surfers, Paddlers, Vogagers

 

We begin with Austin Kino, 37, and Tamiko Claire, 36, from Oahu, Hawaii. Though they only truly connected later in life, they’ve long shared a bond through their relationship with the ocean. Austin and Tamiko met through modeling, but through their shared passion for the ocean pursuits of surfing and paddling, knew of each other from afar. This is what it means to be a waterman or waterwoman. It is what ties them together: salt, sea, and shared reverence for the waves. Read More

Ernie Barnes: From Pads to Palette

Ernie Barnes began painting sports narratives in the late 1950s, drawing on his own background as a professional athlete in the American Football League (AFL) to depict the body in motion. In his autobiography, From Pads to Palette, Barnes recalls sketching in his playbook during team meetings, often raising the ire of his coaches for drawing instead of paying attention.

It was when someone bought one of those sketches that Barnes realized being an artist was a better career choice. Reflecting on his firsthand experience, Barnes sought “to tell a real truth of what it feels like to get hit, to hit, to run, to turn, to backpedal.” In the mid-1960s, Barnes retired from professional sports and turned fully to painting. During this period, he exhibited new work and became the official artist of the AFL. Read More

Fueling Champions: The Energy Equation

 

“We need energy for everything — heart, lungs, kidneys, reproductive health, digestion, immune function, bone health, and mental health. If you don’t eat enough, the energy you do have goes to your sport first, and there may not be enough left to support those other systems. That’s where health problems start to appear.” -Heidi Skolnik

 
Heidi Skolnik, MS, CDN, FACSM, recently joined the sports nutrition team of the New York Liberty — the WNBA champions of the 2024 season. It’s a well-earned appointment for one of the most respected leaders in the field of performance nutrition.

Skolnik’s resume spans some of the biggest teams in professional sports — the New York Knicks, New York Giants, and New York Mets among them — as well as the NHL, MLS, and WNBA. Through her company, Nutrition Conditioning, she also oversees the Performance Nutrition Program at The Juilliard School and the School of American Ballet, and has consulted for numerous Broadway productions.

For this editor, though, her latest position is especially exciting as the 2025 WNBA playoff season kicks off, given the overwhelming popularity of women’s basketball and the Liberty’s last history-making season. I’ve known Heidi for more than 30 years, and sat down with her to talk about her new role, the culture of the Liberty, and why fueling the body is about so much more than performance. Read More
