nautic legends
about
Nautic Legends is a long-term portrait series capturing the people who have shaped the global nautical world - world-class sailors, Olympic champions, America's Cup winners, yacht designers, boatbuilders, and entrepreneurs.
Since 2013, I have been photographing these personalities in my studio and on location, building a growing archive of portraits and conversations. What connects them is not fame - it is mastery, dedication, and the courage to push beyond what seems possible. The project is about the people behind the achievements, captured at close range, over years of trust.
I travel with a full studio setup to create consistent conditions wherever the session takes place - from Saint-Tropez to Barcelona to the Southern Ocean.
The black-and-white format strips away distraction and puts the focus where it belongs: on the person.

Exclusive interview with Swiss billionaire and Alinghi founder Ernesto Bertarelli, discussing the America's Cup, innovation, and the 'Culture of the possible'. Discover insights into resilience, continuous improvement, and what it takes to succeed at the highest level of sailing.
