This photo is out of the CoreUPT vault and was shot in may 2008 with the original  rider’s team of the young brand. We shot it in an abandoned hotel on top of what used to be the main stairs. At the time, the team wasn’t complete and Coreupt was still negotiating to recruit more [...]

This story and photo take place the 14th of July 2010, the last day of the 2010 Nissan Outdoor Games (which sadly was the last edition to ever happen, but that’s another story). There’s only one day remaining in the 7 days of the photo / video competition, and the photos needs to be handed [...]

A few recent events changed my perception of social media.
