EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and energetic print captured by Christophe Archambault, we are transported to the Color Run 2017 edition in Paris. The image showcases a moment of pure joy as participants immerse themselves in this unique sporting event that combines entertainment and athleticism. The Color Run is not your typical race; it's a five-kilometer paint race where there are no winners or prizes. Instead, runners experience an explosion of colors as they are showered with powdered pigments at various stations along the route. This unconventional approach to running has attracted people from all walks of life, creating a sense of unity and camaraderie among participants. As we gaze upon this photograph, we witness the sheer delight on the faces of those taking part in the Color Run. Their bodies adorned with vibrant hues, they exude happiness and enthusiasm for this extraordinary event. Each step taken is accompanied by laughter and excitement, making it clear that winning isn't what matters here – it's about embracing the spirit of fun and celebration. Christophe Archambault skillfully captures both the physicality and emotional essence of this unforgettable occasion through his lens. His composition allows us to feel like active spectators immersed in a sea of color-drenched individuals who have come together to revel in sport, entertainment, and community. This AFP photo serves as a vivid reminder that sometimes it's not about crossing finish lines or claiming trophies but rather about experiencing moments that ignite our spirits with unbridled joy.
