I came to photography by accident. My father Jean-Pierre Thibault called me one day to offer me to enter the DPPI agency, which he founded in 1962, specialized in motorsport. I had the chance to go through the back door and learn all facets of the operation of a photographic press agency.
From "small hand" to the Black & White laboratory via the archive, I learned the basics of photography on the edge of the racetracks in the 80's-90's.
At the beginning of the extensive media coverage of sport in general, the agency enlarged its activity to other disciplines. It was during this period that I was asked to take care of selling boats pictures by organizing a "Sea" department.
After a professional break at the passage of the century, during which I could among other things restored some cars (NR : including the Beltoise iconic Matra MS1 1965) I took back the viewfinder to mount topics for the press.
Born into a family where the car was its main purpose since its genesis, I bathed my entire childhood with racing cars and their history as a backdrop.
These are not the shapes and colors that interest me, that's what's behind the lens.
The ISO A3C is a racing machine that can also be used on the roads. Here she is immortalized with a light color effect, in the Italian Alps near the village of Clusone.
With its V8 Chevrolet Corvette 5.3 liter it develops 365 hp. ISO A3C, created in the 60s by the engineer Giotto Bizzarrini for Renzo Rivolta, is now reconstructed in the workshops of IL Bottegone of Roberto Negri, former employee of the ISO company that closed its doors in 1974.
