J.Villegier - Lutteurs à Dakar

It was while doing a report in Senegal that I had the opportunity to photograph wrestlers several times. Wrestling is a popular national sport practiced there in most villages.

Jacques Villégier is a French advertising photographer.
It was a dance photo that set me on the path. For about ten years, I traveled from studios to theaters. Some of these images were acquired by the National Library.
In my career, I have always set aside one or two days each month for personal work to free myself from the constraints of the profession and reconnect with the amateur I have always been: improbable still lifes, portraits or reports without commission... for pleasure and emotion. These works are intended for exhibitions but also interest publishers.
