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 moreCôté "Galerie" - Constituée principalement de photos de SergDady pour l'instant, ces images sont l'interprétation d'une véritable quête de la part de l'auteur.

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.

What I like with aquatic photography is that you rarely come home disappointed, there is always something to take in, the light, the path, sometimes the simple moment experienced in the waves is enough. The ocean is capricious and rarely leaves an exploitable body of water for more than 2 hours in Charente-Maritime. So over time you learn to let yourself be surprised and leave your expectations at home.
In these moments everything counts: the wind, the coefficient of the tide, the time, the sandbanks, the swell. The coast is wild, difficult to tame and merciless. The waves are cruel and indifferent, yet deeply familiar. As soon as we leave them, the desire to return intensifies. The relationship with the ocean is becoming stronger and stronger. You have to go there, go back there, take a look at the webcams regularly, live as close as possible, go see the water in the morning before everyone else, and stay in the evening after everyone else.
For me it's not just a job, it's getting up at dawn to go into the ocean with nothing in my stomach but the excitement of the moment to come, and waking up in the water for a second time. It's born for the day.
To let yourself drift, to be part of the movement of the water, to struggle sometimes. The ocean has this ability to dissolve our emotions, the waves wash away our ills, cool what sometimes boils inside us. Going in the water angry in the morning and coming out relaxed, with beautiful images as a result, is the most beautiful therapy.
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
