Best-seller Ces collections sont issues de productions d'amis photographes impliqués dans des domaines parfois éloignés de nos sélections originelles. Elles méritent toutefois qu'on s'y attarde pour des raisons d'actualité, ou purement graphiques, mais savent titiller notre passion pour l'image.

Find out moreWelcome to the new GALLERY area of Sails & Rods!
For the majority of the photos presented in the other categories, these are limited editions of very beautiful photos from press reports, published or not, and not accessible to the "general public" before today. Our favorite fields are CAR, MOTORCYCLE, BOAT, PLANE and ESCAPE (this last term mainly evoking seaside atmospheres), all at reasonable prices so that a maximum of you can enjoy it !
While respecting this initial philosophy, this GALLERY space goes further by offering you truly unique works, representing the vision of artist photographers. These photos offer chromies, techniques, supports and formats chosen by the artist himself to give birth to a work. These are no longer "extracts" of reportage, but original creations.
Their format, their even more limited number of editions and their adapted price required that we reserve a place for them a little apart.


At Sails & Rods, we sincerely believe that working in the midst of art photos will help you and your collaborators to find inspiration, to escape for a moment, to feed your curiosity, in short to feel good at the office! Sale or rental of works, unique and limited prints or setting up thematic exhibitions, we support you in the realization of your artistic projects.
Find out moreI like sailing and photography. So I decided to reconcile the two by being a nautical journalist and by creating Sea and See, a photographic agency dedicated to the sea, which allowed me to sail to the four corners of the world. Hard work!
But the heyday of photo agencies is behind us: for a few years I have been touring the Mediterranean aboard my little sailboat. Keep taking pictures. But this time, it is no longer a question of illustrating anything, but rather of producing images that represent absolutely nothing! Otherwise fun to watch.
Personally, I see a lot in them...
Since 1994, I have been working in photography. In these press agencies, specializing in sports, I have experienced many joys at the sight of extraordinary “plates”. Then came the time of the frustration of sometimes being the only one who could enjoy it.
Indeed, if these images were not selected by the decision-makers of our client magazines, for very diverse reasons and not only artistic ones, no one would ever see them, quite simply.
In 2016, the decision was therefore made to unite a large number of photographers among my professional and personal network, in order to make their best shots available to as many people as possible, you!
The time had come to allow you to acquire art photos. These images will be either the most beautiful artistic, historical photos, or even both, extracted from reports, or works of artists wishing to exhibit their own vision of our favorite fields: AUTOMOTIVE, MOTORBIKES, BOATS, PLANES and ESCAPE (Sea Shores). So many universes allowing you to travel within our common passions, and which you will have the opportunity to share with your loved ones.
We voluntarily offer these quality art photos at affordable prices, so that everyone can find what they are looking for, either in Open Edition or accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity for limited editions.
Have fun,
Arnaud Letrésor
