Le témoignage de Catherine Cabrol

I adore this girl who I’ve worked with a lot. She was also involved in the "Years for seconds" project. I wanted to see her screaming for the shot as it is so much a part of her sport. I love the influence she has on the group, she is highly respected within the French team.

Le choix de Jean-Denis

The result is there. The incredible posture, she looks like a wading bird. The breadth of the pose, the power and energy coming from her. A photo that puts you in a good mood. A great photo for a great champion.
