ROLLER DERBY SPECIALIST PHOTOGRAPHER
Roller derby is an intense, fast and strategic sport, where the physical and mental commitment is total.
Capturing these unique moments requires specific expertise, a perfect mastery of sports photography and a deep understanding of the values that this sport carries.
WHAT IS ROLLER DERBY ?
Roller derby is a contact sport practiced on an oval track between two teams of skaters.
Developed in the 1930s in the United States, it experienced a renaissance in the 2000s, driven by a strong culture of camaraderie, inclusion and passion.
In France, the discipline has experienced a boom with many teams created across the country and high-level national and international competitions.
