MY WORLD - Peter Sagan

Probably the most talented and coolest man on two wheels, three-time UCI World Champion Peter Sagan gives us his unique perspective on the world of professional cycling. 

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

This was a complex shoot to organise – finding a location that was easy for Peter and his team to 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 to get our shots, but Peter and his team were cool enough to give us longer and we ended up gathering a wealth of cover material.

Peter was the perfect gentleman, a natural in front of the camera and more than willing to spend time to chat and sign memorabilia. 

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.

My World is published in October by Yellow Jersey Press.
