2 years ago Red Bull Photography challenged Matthias Dandois and Hadrien Picard to shoot a serie of photos on a single roll of film. Harien decided to put a Kodak Tri-X 400 in a Nikon F100 and took it around the Parisian suburbs.

Paris is always known as « the city of lights » that’s why he wanted to show the total opposite in this series: that shadows can also be beautiful.

I have been blessed to ride with a number of the world’s most amazing bike riders. They tend to have very different takes on riding and what they are trying to accomplish. One thing they seem to have in common is a drive to test their resolve.

Here is a super fun edit I put together using Davinci Resolve. The animation took me a while to figure out, but after a while, I found ways to speed up the process. It was a lot of work, but I can see myself taking on a bigger project really soon.

'A person’s motivation reveals a lot about them. and I wanted to find out more about what motivates the one and only Steve Crandall beyond what we know of him with FBM. Always creating and enjoying things with the community that he surrounds himself with, Crandall’s intentions through life are pure, and his actions reflect that. He holds BMX values as a foundation and that spreads into every aspect of his life. Whether he’s coasting a big bike down a hill, digging in the dirt, or painting a coffee cup, it all comes from the same place and for the same reasons. This short film was shot in early April 2018 and documents Crandall in Richmond VA dealing with his first ever solo art show, and his preparation for the show 6 hours north in his hometown of Ithaca NY.' - Kenny Horton
