To tell the story of the last Roland Garros tournament in pictures, the French Tennis Federation has broken with the tradition of the official vintage book and offers readers an innovative artistic exercise. Far from the chronological retrospective, this book is signed by one of the great names in photography, the British Steve Hiett. It is prefaced by the journalist and man of letters Philippe Labro. With audacity and subtlety, in total freedom, Steve Hiett has put his vision of fashion photographer on the planet Roland-Garros. His work with flash and his mastery of color make this beautifully illustrated book a unique journey to the heart of the tournament, revealing the backstage, the architecture, the public, the courts … everything that makes Roland Garros one of the international tennis tournaments that thrills the world.
