Back on the X...
Two weeks later, I still think it was great, but really hard. Yes, the second European Winter X-Games were really exhausting, especially when you cover a such event alone, or almost alone (thanks to Kristy who did some good shots for her first time in the French Alps!).
Hard as every day you had to shoot all day long, including the trainings if you want some different pictures. Hard as every day you had to walk in the snow with all you camera stuff, speak to the security guys that you want to be here and not there (was the accreditation really useful?!). Hard as every night you had to upload your photos of the day (with the hasardous internet connection of the press center...). Hard as every night you could go to a party and get some drinks with friends (but, honestly, I did it only 2 times!). This was hard, yes, but fucking good! Good to be in Tignes, good to meet some really good ski photographers I appreciate, good to shoot the best riders in the world, good to work hard to get the best images you can...

The snow is coming!
It's november and I know some people are already on their skis or snowboard riding the very first snow in the French Alps. I'm still in Paris and wish I could already ride my skis... So, it's a bit hard to wait, this is why I was just looking at my first ski pictures I did last season and there is one I absolutely want to share.
After my very first ski photo experience shooting the X-Games in Tignes (it couldn't be better for a first experience, isn't it?), I had to go in Chatel with some friends to try to capture some good action shots for a new ski brand (B2R - Born To Ride). Unfortunatly the snow was really hard everywhere, not easy to make a freeride shot in the powder if you don't have any powder! We finally saw a little heap of fresh snow with Hugo and I asked him if he could try to do a big turn on it. Not an easy task for him considering he had no speed and not a lot of fresh snow... But we did it and were really happy of the shot, except it's not a good one for the brand!
