Shooting during the Yamaha Ténéré Press Test
In the Agafay desert near Marrakech for Yamaha Europe: the unveiling of the Ténéré 700 and the 700 Rally, with Peterhansel, Botturi and Paulin on the bikes. Then the press, and later one of my images on a cover.
In early April, I was in Morocco, in the Agafay desert, with Yamaha Europe and GIG Creative Film Production. We were there for the Yamaha Ténéré Press Test and the unveiling of the Yamaha Ténéré 700 and the Yamaha Ténéré 700 Rally.
The first few days were devoted to creating images for the press to use in their communications. Action shots, detail shots and static images, all from the two new engines. Added to that was the new engine they were rallying with. These bikes were driven by Gautier Paulin, Alessandro Botturi and Stéphane Peterhansel. After this event, they headed to the Carta Rallye in which Paulin won his class at his first ever Cross Country Rally.
Then the journalists came to test the engines. This too was recorded so that each journalist could be provided with their own images. These images are used by their own media platforms and magazines. So I see my own photos on the cover of a motorcycle magazine! How cool is that?
Thank you Yamaha Europe and GIG Creative Film Production for allowing me to be a part of this production!
