The Silver Camera goes to Christophe Bricot
The French photographer, Christophe Bricot, did everything right. He pressed the trigger of the camera at exactly the right moment and shot a unique photo. An unparalleled motif was the result. The protagonists: Rider and horse over the obstacle, the sun setting in the background, to the right the impressive Eifel Tower. Bricot was distinguished with the media prize, “The Silver Camera” for his piece of photographic art entitled “Lauren Hough riding Ohlala in Paris” in the Main Stadium on Saturday evening (July 16th) after the Final of the Sparkassen-Youngsters-Cup at the CHIO Aachen.
