Every year in August, the Equiblues Festival, Ardeche / France, brings together the best of the rodeo and Country music.For the series "The other America" I am attached to do portraits of the participants at the rodeo. Bull Riders must ride a bull and stand with one hand for 8 seconds. For this test, they wear a protective helmet and anti-perforations vests. Bareback Riders must take 8 seconds on a wild bronco holding them also with a hand, and finally the Saddle Bronc Riders who ride a saddled horse on which they must hold 8 second thanks to a rope.
