A word about the work
PERAS005
The Albatros is Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines’ showcase golf course. Unidentified player during the 2008 French Open.
Every year, a while ago, L’Équipe Magazine gave a different photographer the freedom to portray the French Open in any way they liked. There were no rules or regulations except to portray the most important French golf tournament through their own eyes. I was over the moon to inherit the privilege in 2008, and to follow on from such prestigious names as Luc Choquer and Eric Bouvet. Even more so, as it turned out to be the last time. I discovered both the sport and the tournament and was inspired. The location is magnificent and the atmosphere incredible. I did my best to pay homage to the sport and the venue.
Jean-Denis’s choice
A golfer’s life portrayed in one photograph : watching helplessly a nerve-wracking encounter between the ball and the hole. I love not knowing how it ended.
