New York City based Photographer Romain Laurent spends most of his time capturing people and translating them into moving images and short videos.
“As far as the intention of the series, it’s a way for me to explore a hybrid medium, experiment and being spontaneous while sticking to a short weekly deadline,” Laurent told Colossal.
“There isn’t a common concept between each loop. I just ‘go with the flow’ and see what comes to my mind each week.”
Being born and bred in the French Alps has nurtured Laurent’s love for extreme skiing. He went on to study product design at the Ensaama National School of Applied Arts and photography at Gobelins in Paris.
Some of the global top brands Laurent has worked with include agencies and magazines like Xbox, Coca-Cola, Google, GQ, Nissan and Hilton.
We hope these GIFs will blow your mind like it did ours.
