I'm not really a massive fan of motorsport, much to my friends discust, but I can really see the attraction when the sport is so brilliantly photographed. I found these by Laurent Nivalle whilst wandering the pages of Grain Edit and instantly felt connected to his compositions from the The Le Mans Classic.
Though shot in 2010 these pictures have a retrospective, timeless quality, with the depth of field making them almost seem like a mini dioramas, drawing you in to hear every revving engine and inhale the petrol fumed atmosphere
Over all this, what they do best is to capture the idolised sprit, alure and glamour of this classic race.
