24h of Le Mans 2022
As a beginer photographer, i'm not already allowed to be on the best spots of the track. So i have to be imaginative to take shots that are special and graphicely the most interresting as possible.
It's a difficult exercise and i have to play with my environment.
For exemple this kind of shots :
(check out the transformation with the interactive shot)
As you can see, at this moment, the light, the grid and the background was ugly but in post-production, i tried to improve the photo by just changing the colors and it gave a vintage look to this photo. 
Then, i decided to move, because the light was too hard to work with...
So i go on the opposit front of the famous "Dunlop Corner" to take the car from the back. That gave me some beautiful images :
The time was running and the light began to decline. I had to make a choice so i decide to move on the pit lane.

Then, the night take progressively place and eat the light of the day... It was time for the pilot to train and drive in the darkness of the night...

It was a challenging day for me. I stay at this place for 5 hours long and i had to shoot as much as i can to get the maximum of the event. I don't have access to all the best places and all the best photography spots who are reserved for the professionnals.
I hope you enjoyed this little trip around the 24h Hour of Le Mans track. You can check my other projects in my Behance place or some of my pick on my instagram page (link in the bottom of this page). Bye !
