Dream Factory
Who has never dreamed of a hot air balloon ride?
Slowly lifted by the heat towards the clouds and beyond.
There is something very romantic about this.
For the past 7 years I have admired the hot air balloons floating in front of my windows.
Caught by the first rays of dawn, they kept company to the children walking to school, making them smile and dream.
Hot air balloons were the first flying vehicles to cross the sky.
They let themselves be caressed by the air currents, silently in harmony between colors, elegance and shapes: it is extraordinary!
I was told about the skill of the Charbonnier family, who were passionate and champions.
I wanted to document, through my shots, especially the pre-flight phases, the preparation, how it works and the many other details that people usually do not see and do not know.
I wanted to be part of this unique experience. I found the opportunity to be part of the team and photographed their work. In return, I shared the passion and was able to fly: what an emotion!
