Karl Hab Takes Us Down to the 'Tennis Courts'

Summary Karl Habhas unveiled his latest photobook: an aerial exposé of the aesthetics that lie inside the lines of the tennis court. EntitledTennis Courts,Hab's latest longform endeavor pays homage to the hidden architectural beauty of the court, arriving as a thematic compilation of primarily aerial short photos that explore the sport and its surrounding atmosphere through Hab's aesthetic lens. Spanning courts all over the world – Paris, London, and California – Haab has long been captivated by the sporting spaces, though he began officially shooting photos for this project back in 2013. Totalling 136 pages, the book spotlights the calm yet captivating aura of the courts through various angles, with Hab playing around with form, color, and composition. 'These elements all come together as a kind of visual language that I find endlessly inspiring,' Hab said in a press release. 'The images I have chosen – some never seen until now – are among my favourites, as my intention was to frame the sport through an alternate aesthetic lens. True to my work, this book is a photographic exploration, an artistic tribute to the beauty of tennis environments.' While as much asTennis Courtsoffers an alternative look at the sport, the book, per Hab, is less about the game itself and more about 'the atmosphere it creates.' Available to purchase now at Hab's official24HBooks webstore,Tennis Courtsruns for €40,00 euros, or roughly $47 USD.
