Pierre Pichot 2018
I love shooting the streets of Bucharest. I don’t know why, there is something that always inspires me. Some vide, I don’t know. But every single time I go there, I come back with at least one great photo.
This particular photo as been taken during a rainy night at my favourite spot in the Romanian capital, the Union Square (or Piata Unirii for the locals). It’s always full of lights, with an interesting design, and a good looking metro station entrance. A few shots from my portfolio have been done there… This shop’s showcase is a great example of what can be found there. With this yellow/orange lighting, the rain allowing a great reflection on the ground, it was just about waiting for the perfect subject to pass 🙂

LooenArtI’ll be part of a new exhibition in Roma in January 2019, on a theme I particularily like, Shadows :
The exhibition is organized by the LoosenArt gallery, in Rome. I’m pretty sad by the fact that I won’t be able to get there, but, well, as long as my photo is there… Talking about the photo, Long Legs has (again!) been the selected one.
Italy is the 4th country I get an exhibition in. I wonder where the next one will be…
Always try something new was the title of one of my articles a year ago. I’m true to my words, it’s time for me to reshuffle things a bit!
I’ve always been very passionate about motorsport. Since I was a kid I’ve always watched all the races I could that were on TV. Now with internet it’s racing fest almost every week-end! So why not merging my “old” motorsport passion with my “new” photography love into one?
That’s what I will be doing in 2019. Being in Romania for 10+ years didn’t help as motorsports are quite marginal there. But here in France, it’s already something much more reachable. I’ve just become the official photographer for a local karting track. The first step to something, hopefully, big!
It doesn’t mean I’ve stopped shooting the streets and the city, far from that. On the contrary, with a fresher perspective, it can only help with creativity. Heck, I’ve even started shooting the streets in colors during my last trip to Bucharest! Much more to come later on…
