My
name is Olivier Beroud and i am a Professionnal sport photographer
based
in Dijon, Burgundy - France
Born in 1982, I started photography in the middle of the 90's using the camera and lenses of my father before buying my own one in 1997. I started to cover motorsport event and get my first media credential in 1999. At that time I was working for a couple websites like Spiritof and totalmotorsport.
In 1999, I was in Magny-Cours when AMG-Mercedes was testing their brand new CLR. That was my first scoop and the first photo I sold. A few weeks later, the car became world famous , a couple flips in the straight line of the Hunaudieres during the 24hrs of le Mans wrecked the car. Again in 2000, I was in Magny-Cours when Reynard and ROC were testing their new LMP2 Prototype, a new scoop.
In 2001, I moved to
Paris to study photo at the School of Photography of Paris, Icart
Photo. 2 and a half years later, I was graduate with a book about the
Bol d'Or race that I realized during a 9 months placement at the
Edition Lariviere.
Holder
of a French
Motorsport Federation (FFSA) 2007 pass, I am covering the complete
French Super Serie (GT, FR2.0, Carrera Cup, Clio, RC Cup, 206CC ...)
but
also historic events, 4 Wheel Drives races, FIA GT races and
club
races all around Europe. During the off-season, I am covering Ice
Hockey.
Most of my shots are used
for press release and magazines :
and this web site can give you access to private galleries where you will be able to download high resolutions images after every meeting
I am available to
cover any motorsport, I will work
with clients, editors, art directors and customers to provide images
for editorial, advertising or promotion. I also accept commercial
assignments.
I would like to thanks a few people who give me a hand and are still
helping me. Parents and Family, friends especially Claire and mates
Ariel and Reynald, people at Stand 21 Racewear who believed in me since
the really beginning. A big thanks to photographers who inspired me
over the past 10 years or so : guys at DPPI, JF Galeron, John Brooks,
Larry Burrows ....Index - About me - Galleries - Archives - Copyright - Contact - Links
