“The city is the ultimate landscape,” Jarrett Reynolds, Nike Design, explains. “It’s home to a number of different activities and microclimates. Just think — you may be biking through the freezing rain one minute and then jockeying for space in a stuffy subway the next.”

Today’s explorers don’t need a mountain to climb in order to be a pioneer. Today’s pathfinders navigate the ultimate terrain — the city. Facing rapidly changing conditions and an unpredictable climate of snow, wind, rain, and heat, urban athletes adapt to unknown elements every day.

Designed to move, protect, and adapt with wearers through any and all conditions, the NikeLab ACG collection is Nike's most innovative, winterized outerwear collection to date. To celebrate this season’s collection, NikeLab partners with VSCO to create an exclusive preset for today’s urban explorers. The preset is especially suited for the bustling atmosphere of the city, from towering bright lights to the most intense climate conditions.

Follow NikeLab and witness the design process behind the collection with the Innovation x Innovators: ACG film below. And as you venture into the unpredictable, share your own images with the VSCO community using the hashtag #ACG.

Yumna Al-Arashi

As the VSCO Artist Initiative™ program continues to grow, we want to make sure we highlight the artists in addition to their projects. After all, these are people who, amidst their project challenges, hold down jobs, tend to loved ones, and have stories to tell.

Photographer Yumna Al-Arashi traveled to the United Arab Emirates to document the migrant camps, and the day-to-day lives of this community — one that is marginalized at the expense of the host nation’s profit. With her camera, Al-Arashi hopes to advocate for those who are marginalized, and expose the inhumanity of their experience.

Avoiding Taxes, Legally, Offshore

For nearly three years, Paolo Woods and Gabriele Galimberti traveled from the Cayman Islands and Panama to Hong Kong and Singapore to produce “The Heavens,” a look at the world of ‘tax optimization,’ the term preferred by its advocates. A lot of what goes on in these tax havens — where as much as $37 billion is held — is legal. But is it morally proper?

Humans and Animals: A Complicated Bond

Photographer Jayanti Seiler explores the contradictions of the human-animal relationship, photographing them at circuses, shelters, and even taxidermists. Jayanti has always been an animal lover, and after a stint volunteering at a Florida wildlife rehabilitation center, was inspired to chronicle the complex relationships she witnessed.

Work in progress: Future Photomakers

Earlier this year, Artist Initiative artists Tim Lampe and Keith Weaver started planning a photography class for junior high students in Atlanta, Georgia, an area with a lack of arts programming. Over the course of eight weeks, students learned about positive and negative space, natural and studio lighting, portrait and object photography, among a myriad of other techniques. The duo wanted the kids to “know you don’t have to take photography too seriously”, and were rewarded they saw their students take “their baby steps into uncharted creative territory”.

Jimmy Marble for DSCO

Jimmy Marble is a director, photographer, designer, and muralist living in Los Angeles, California. As an visual artist who works extensively in both photography and video, Marble talks about the role of GIFs and DSCO in his creative repertoire. “I think GIFs are a perfect way to capture memories and stories. It’s such nice sweet spot between photo and video. When I look back on videos from special times they’re never quite as good as the moment felt. And photos are great, but I typically wind up with so many that it’s overboard. The GIF has an ability to carry the vibe in a way that video and photo miss. Plus, it makes you pay more attention to the way moments happen. You’re looking for more than just a nice shot, but for a moment that communicates a story.”

Marble translated his distinct sense of style and color into our newest limited edition DSCO preset. “The preset represents my current fascination with warm reds and deeeeep blacks. My taste is an evolution and has changed so much over time, but I’m definitely in a phase where I’m loving contrast and shadows, and I wanted this preset to reflect that.” Bold and contrasty, this preset works best in brightly lit settings to create the strong, pop-y look that is Marble’s signature.

As an established visual artist who truly loves working, Marble reflects on the importance of the creative community. “VSCO is a fantastic place to come be inspired, and I love the way the community values creation... It’s a treat to be able to have a venue that inspires people to create as much as it values celebrating beautiful things being made.”

Hiraeth: A St. Louis Story

Photographer Sierra Odessa shares her thoughts and a series of photos from her Artist Initiative project Hiraeth: A St. Louis Story. Hiraeth, a Welsh word that is often described as “homesickness tinged with grief or sadness for the lost or departed”, was an important idea to Odessa, as she spent time documenting her hometown. But the desolate streets of St. Louis proved a challenge, both photographically and emotionally, and Odessa decided to focus on themes surrounding the idea of home.

Read more about Odessa’s project here, and follow along on her VSCO.
