Synopsis

Gilles Martin-Raget is France's top marine photographer, with a worldwide reputation for spectacular action shots. It is for this reason he was the official photographer for last year's America's Cup competition. This book is a celebration of 30 years of his stunning photography, which is instantly recognisable for its drama, perfect composition and eye-catching angles. Martin-Raget has refined and perfected his unique technique over three decades, and this collection shows precisely why he has made his mark. The book is arranged thematically, including fast-paced racing shots, dramatic photos taken from the end of the bow, spectacular accidents at sea, beautiful classic yachts, incredible superyachts, almost futuristic images from the forefront of modern yacht development and, of course, the America's Cup. A lavish gift for fans of high quality coffee table photographic books or a fine souvenir for those who for who followed the America's Cup, this collection includes some of the best marine photographs ever taken.

Revue de presse :

In this modern digital age, it is all too easy just to keep your finger on the shutter and just pick the best picture from 1,000 in the comfort of your armchair. Gilles learnt his trade and skills from the 'old school' when film cost money. He is an artist...truly a chef amongst cooks!
- Ken Beken (May 2014)

Gilles Martin-Raget's work has always inspired me, his understanding of light and the action he captures is just brilliant. --- Rick Tomlinson (May 2014)
