Of Course, Players Are Often Photographed. At This Level Of Fame, Most Of Their Life Becomes Public. But Here The Project Is Unique Because Of Its Artistic Purpose. Some Shots Offer A Close-Up Look, Just Like A Painting. We Can See The Incredible Details From Big Pictures. We Think Of Presnel Kimpembe’S Face When He Beckons To The Supporters And Shares His Rage To Win While We See His Teammates Celebrating The Goal That Was Just Scored Behind Him. And How Can We Not Think Of This Shot Where Players Enter The Field In Singapore? The Twilight That Cuts Through The Scene Offers An Additional Intensity To Its Beauty. We Can Clearly Feel That The Photographer Is Driven By A Constant Quest For The Ideal Lighting, Like Great Renaissance Painters. There Is Inspiration From Géricault And Rembrandt In The Use Of Chiaroscuro. In Some Photos, Players Even Nod To A Form Of Mythology. Julien Scussel Is Mindful Of Bodies And Veins Like The Sculptures Of The Olympus Gods.”Only In Paris Do Arts And Sports Appear So Complementary.
