Set against the searing heat of the Nice backcountry, this project for Velocio follows athlete Yannick Pontal through an unfiltered day on the road. Navigating between sun-baked ochre alleys and scorching asphalt, the series harnesses high-contrast chiaroscuro to slice hard light through deep shadows, capturing the raw tempo, grit, and endurance of Mediterranean road cycling.
