He is there, faithful to the post. Whether at the Collinéum Pascal Laperche to “shoot” the basketball players of the BBM or at Dartiailh for rugby, Emmanuel Guibert does not miss a beat. And this, since 2018.
“I am from Bayonne at the base, but in 2016, I came to Marmande. My father is from the area. Fascinated by photography, I found that it would be interesting to put a little more emphasis on the Marmandais sport” explains the photographer. Before specifying with humility: “I am not a professional. I just try to get better every time”.
The importance of women’s sport
And since then, this rugby enthusiast has been working to highlight the athletes of tomorrow, experienced athletes but also sportswomen. Because yes, Emmanuel Guibert makes it a point of honor to promote women’s sport to the general public. “There are good women’s teams. We hear too little about it. I find it important to communicate about them as well,” he says.
If you probably often meet the photographer near the grounds, know that he is not only interested in rugby and basketball. “I often shoot at the Moto-Club Marmandais. I love being on the slopes. I also went to archery, football, handball…”
“The Family Side”
The person concerned therefore tries to vary the pleasures and above all to expand his agenda each weekend. Because as a good sports enthusiast above all, his place is at the edge of the field. “Each of them has their own photographer’s eye. But I love to highlight the family and friendly side between athletes. To highlight the fact that they gave everything during the match,” he smiles.
Emmanuel Guibert also likes to tell the story of a game. Witness this personalized “shoot” by Jovélian De Koker, the center from Marmand, during his magnificent try against Castelsarrasin. Because telling great stories is also the job (or passion) of a photographer.
