Eamon Sullivan and exploding pool shot by Zahn Pithers



This image was one from a series taken for One HD's upcoming swim season.

The images were shot in an Olympic swimming pool. Pyrotechnics specialists ran gas lines underneath the surface of the water and carefully controlled the explosions. Olympic swimmers Libby Trickett and Eamon Sullivan had to swim and dive in and around the exploding pool. They were a bit nervous about it at first but eventually warmed up to the idea.

The shoot wrapped at 4.30 in the morning.
