Rétromobile 2024

Three days, 400 photos, and one very sore back

Personal Project · February 2024

Rétromobile is the world's most prestigious classic car show, held annually at the Porte de Versailles in Paris. Three days of the most significant automobiles ever built, crammed into exhibition halls that smell of old leather and fresh polish.

This photo series documents the 2024 edition — from million-dollar Ferraris to unrestored barn finds, from pre-war elegance to 1980s Group B rally cars. The challenge at Rétromobile is never finding something worth photographing. It's choosing what to leave out.

Four hundred frames. Three days. One very sore back from crouching next to bumpers. This is what I kept.
