This exhibition, organized by the Grand Prix Photo de Saint-Tropez, will introduce you to Dingo’s photographs, which take the form of striking and daring stagings, always imbued with positivity and often tinged with humor, carried by vibrant colors. Dingo’s passion lies not just in the automobile as an object, but in the way it is woven into our lives, the experiences it makes possible and the emotions it arouses.
For over forty years, this key photographer of the automotive and motorcycle worlds has made a profound impression on the press and advertising industries, thanks to his unique and instantly recognizable style. Over the course of his career, Dingo has collaborated with 45 car brands and helped launch six specialist magazines, orchestrating the staging of over 10,000 models, extras and assistants.
Dingo has signed 940 car magazine covers and helped reveal over 500 car and motorcycle models. His photographs are distinguished by their spectacular and singular staging. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

BIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/p>

It’s obviously a nickname, but so well worn!
His pictures have fascinated us for almost fifty years. They’re instantly recognizable. With poetry and talent, Dingo has imposed an unmistakable style that goes beyond simple car and motorcycle photography. His visuals tell stories and often hold up a mirror to society.
<\/span>Still a child, he knew he would become a photographer, fascinated as he was by Cheyco Leidman’s incredible world of color and Jeanloup Sieff’s wide-angle framing. What a disappointment for his grandfather, who had bought him a dry-cleaning business so that he could continue the family business!
Quickly, even before he had obtained his driving license, he equipped himself with a van (he would have ten!) overflowing with a motley assortment of equipment: generator, lights, clamps, ladders, cables, winch, ropes, tripod, blowguns and, above all, sturdy suitcases containing his precious cameras and lenses, and set off on the roads, in sheds, parking lots and in all the most unexpected places to create his stagings where “the tricks are done without tricks”, he says.
Dingo, a self-taught photographer who had never been accepted at a photography school, took his first crazy picture in 1978: he organized a picnic on the side of a road, blocked access without authorization with “borrowed” building cones and staged his own car. Unluckily, he forgets to mask his license plate and is apprehended, ending his adventure in police custody.
Dingo has always been loyal to Canon, using at least thirteen different cameras. In an interview, Dingo explains, “I was lucky to be with Canon: when they brought out digital cameras, all the buttons were the same, in the same place, so there was no need to learn new ergonomics”. He took six million photos and more than 700 magazine covers of cars and then motorcycles.
Why so much interest in cars? He answers: “When you were born, your father took your mother to the maternity ward by car, and when you die, your coffin goes to the cemetery by car too”.
Dingo you said?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
