Tour de France Photo

Five series with photographers, hairdressers, stylists and models: a Viking goddess with wings of fire, a burning skater, hip-hop, a portrait and wedding photos with fire.

The Tour de France Photo is an event the Tour de France Photo association had already been running for five years by 2015. The aim: to meet, share and work on joint projects with photographers, make-up artists, hairdressers, stylists and models from all over France.

The Flaming Wings of Lagertha

At the Hérisson waterfalls, in Ménétrux-en-Joux in the Jura, we shot a Viking goddess with La Nuit des Songes. William Simoncini on hair, Valérie Pache on styling, Gwendoline Chopineau on photography.

DMC, skater on fire

In the DMC / Motoco factories in Mulhouse, I worked with a skater model, Simon Wiedemann, to create flaming tricks.

Burning hip-hop

For the background: a burning rope, gloves and an assistant. Three hip-hop dancers from Xstar Crew and Thomas Ueberschlag on photography, for an improvised piece.

Fuel

With the photographer Patrick Macias, we made a portrait of the model Julien Schmitz.

Keep calm and marry me with fire

With the photographer Gwendoline Chopineau, at the Les Violettes spa hotel in Thierenbach, we made wedding photos with fire for two couples: Lorène Csysz and Thomas Ueberschlag, and Christophe Robein and Céline Messmer. Make-up: Cindy Pasqualin; hair: Nouvel’Essence salon; styling: Ma-Oui Création.
