About the shot :

Clarisse Crémer (L'Occitane en Provence) crossed the finish line at the helm of her new boat during the solo race "Retour à la Base" to ensure her qualification for the Vendée Globe 2024. At 10.30pm this December, the conditions were extreme, a moonless night, with no outside help to light her boat. I took the risk of reducing the speed to 1/8th of a second to have a chance of catching the lights of the town of Lorient on the landscape and to show her speed, the wave from the boat I was aboard fortuitously adding a touch of light to the image.
