Opportunities like this seldom come along… flying to Nice to art direct a Peter Sagan photoshoot. Nice!

This was difficult to organise – finding a location that was easy for Peter and his team reach, a limited time slot, budgets to balance, plus finding a studio that would be suitable for shooting portrait and full-length. The key is always the prep - knowing what shots you want, and being set up and ready to shoot as soon as the client arrives. We were told we would have an hour for the shoot, but Peter and his team were cool enough to give us longer and we gathered a wealth of cover material.

Peter was the perfect gentleman, a natural in front of the camera and great fun to work with.
As you can imagine he also has a damn fine S-Works bike…

Thanks to Sam Barker for the photography and Pauline Layre for hair and make-up.
