Batman and Robin. All images by Sacha Goldberger.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

If Darth Vader had been born in the 15th century, how would the Flemish painter Jan van Eyck have portrayed him? Most Star Wars and comic book devotees are unlikely to spend much time and energy worrying about such a question, but for French photographer Sacha Goldberger this, and other imponderables, turned into an obsession.<\/p>\n

Like most people, Sacha became interested in superheroes when he was a kid, but at the same time that he was soaking up Spiderman and the Hulk, he was also observing the classic Flemish portrait paintings adorning his parent\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

The result is Super-Flemish, an amazing cultural mash-up that combines American comic book and sci-fi personalities with the techniques of 15th century Flemish portrait painting. It sounds bonkers, but it works brilliantly.<\/p>\n

\u2018These characters in my photographs have become icons to reveal their humanity,\u2019 Sacha explains. \u2018They are tired of having to save the world without respite, promised to a destiny of endless immortality, forever trapped in their character. The images allow us to discover, under the patina of time, the unexpected melancholy of those who are invincible.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Cultural heritage<\/h2>\n

The collection caused a major stir when it debuted at the Grand Palais in Paris at the end of 2014. Thanks to social media, Sacha now has even more followers.<\/p>\n

\u2018Mixing up superheroes with the techniques of Flemish portrait painting was entirely my idea,\u2019 explains the former art director turned photographer. \u2018I don\u2019t know where it came from, but I did a previous project called \u2018Mamika\u2019, where I shot my grandmother as a superhero.<\/p>\n

\u2018I love comic books and I love Flemish painting, and every time I am in a major city I head to the art galleries. You have some lovely examples of Flemish art in London. I like to mix things that aren\u2019t supposed to mix.\u2019<\/p>\n

Being of Jewish ancestry, Sacha was also intrigued to discover many classic comic-book artists were Jewish, creating invincible characters such as Superman at a time when Europe\u2019s Jews were being persecuted by the Nazis. He began the Super-Flemish project by hooking up with local cosplay groups, where fans dress up as their favourite characters.<\/p>\n

\u2018They are very special people,\u2019 he says. \u2018It was great to meet them and see how it all works. But I realised I needed real actors and models as the cosplay people didn\u2019t look enough like the superheroes.\u2019<\/p>\n

So, Sacha and his casting director spent six to nine months trying to find lookalikes of Superman, the Joker and the rest from a wide pool of actors, models and comedians.<\/p>\n

\u2018Once we had the cast, I teamed up with a costume director who specialises in historical attire,\u2019 adds Sacha. \u2018Every costume was made specifically for the character.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Personal project<\/h2>\n

As you can imagine, the Super- Flemish project didn\u2019t come cheap, eventually involving 110 people, including the cast.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was a personal project over three years, so I had to pay for it myself,\u2019 says Sacha. \u2018I wanted it to be perfect. Even though it was a personal project, it had to be as good as the work I do for my clients.<\/p>\n

\u2018We had so many nice costumes, with five stylists as well as the costume designer. Then there were the backgrounds, objects made specifically for the shoot and so on.<\/p>\n

\u2018My next project, about history, is even bigger. There\u2019s a team of 150 involved. I may be the photographer, but all my strength comes from the great people I work with.\u2019<\/p>\n

However, bringing on board a large team didn\u2019t mean everything ran smoothly all the time.<\/p>\n

\u2018Everything about Super-Flemish was difficult in different ways,\u2019 Sacha reflects. \u2018Superman was particularly tough, as the guy didn\u2019t look much like him, so there was a lot of Photoshop morphing.\u2019<\/p>\n

For other characters, particularly the Hulk, the correct look was achieved in more traditional ways using special effects and make-up.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Hulk model wore a wig and his forehead was made from silicone. Then he was painted green. We didn\u2019t need to use Photoshop much for Princess Leia, either, as the model looked so like her in real life.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

The human factor<\/h2>\n

For Sacha, the spirit and emotion of the project are more interesting to talk about than the technical challenges.<\/p>\n

\u2018We love superheroes,\u2019 he says. \u2018They are very cool and very strong. Coming from the USA, nothing can happen to them. But they are not very sympathique; how do you say, not very \u201cnice and friendly\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018We humans are very ordinary, and in European culture, people are more human in terms of how they are portrayed in art. So Super- Flemish was all about taking these superhuman characters and putting them in different settings and positions, in order to make them more human.<\/p>\n

\u2018I wanted to mix invincibility with humanity. For example, we originally had the Hulk screaming, but it didn\u2019t work so we decided to have him looking sincere \u2013 depressed, even. There\u2019s a contrast between Hulk as we imagine him, and Hulk in the picture.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sacha spent three years on the project and learned some valuable lessons along the way.<\/p>\n

\u2018I learned that nothing is impossible, however complicated it turns out to be in the end,\u2019 he says. \u2018With faith, energy, a good team and time, you can achieve anything.<\/p>\n

\u2018I also learned a lot about lighting. With such a huge project, it was all about test and test again. Then, I learned that however good your team, no one person can do everything, so you have to identify their strengths.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was like running a small company in some ways, but all the effort was worth it.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Light and shade<\/h2>\n

The subtle but striking lighting is a major factor in the success of these images. \u2018I studied the techniques of Flemish portrait painting a lot with my team,\u2019 sacha explains. \u2018If you look at Rembrandt and these kinds of portrait painters, they used a lot of chiaroscuro, combining a light side with a darker side. It\u2019s soft, but also strong.\u2019<\/p>\n

To get this look with his superhero models, sacha used two huge 4×4 softboxes.<\/p>\n

\u2018There were Elinchrom lights behind the larger softbox, which lit the character on one side,\u2019 he says. \u2018On the other side I used a smaller softbox to ensure the darks weren\u2019t too dark.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sacha used several backgrounds, painted by his set designer, and his camera of choice was a Hasselblad 503 CW with a Phase One P65+ back.<\/p>\n

\u2018I used 80mm or 120mm lenses, which were perfect. I don\u2019t like to use wideangle lenses for this kind of job.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t
