“Autour du Paddock,” a photo book published by Éditions Cayenne with photographs by Marc Nolin, offers an authentic and sensitive look at those who bring harness racing to life at the Trois-Rivières racetrack in Quebec.
Across 144 pages in a 23.5 x 22 cm format, this book brings together more than 130 black and white and color photos, capturing the raw reality and beauty of the paddock.
This artistic reportage reveals the daily lives of these enthusiasts breeders, grooms, and drivers in all weathers, whether under bright skies or on gray, rainy days. Each image tells a story: one of work, effort, and complicity with horses, and that of an environment where women are playing an increasingly important role.
No spectacular finish shots here, but candid and sometimes unexpected moments, captured with artistic sensitivity. “Around the Paddock” reveals the truth of this world: marked faces, precise gestures, and that unique relationship between human and animal, captured in soft or striking light.
“Around the Paddock” is a true, poetic, and human immersion. A visual tribute to those who work far from the spotlight, in a world where passion and reality collide. Around the Paddock: is a sincere and artistic photo book, to discover the soul of harness racing, in good or gloomy weather.
