+2 A photographer’s view on Senna
French photographer Bernard Bakalian followed Ayrton Senna from the early days. He has just finished a book which is best resumed as a personal portrait of the Brazilian champion.
Bernard Bakalian is a long-time motorsport photographer and friend of many a racing driver. He has built up a huge collection of photographs, both ‘on the job’ and on more personal private days with drivers.

From these archives, he has now compiled a book on Ayrton Senna, on the thirtieth anniversary of the triple F1 world champion’s passing. As Bakalian explains, this is mostly a look-back in pictures on the Brazilian’s career, with many previously unseen images making it into the book. Alain Prost has written the forword for ‘Mes années F1, Ayrton Senna’ (My Years in F1).
250 numbered copies
For ideal photo reproduction, a heavy 300-gram paper is used. A dedicated digital printing technique guarantees the quality expected from such an exclusive book. Bakalian will only have 250 numbered copies printed, each on individual order. The production time is 30 to 40 days. Each copy is bound in soft touch ‘Cloud Nuage’ simili leather and with the cover photograph printed on a solid, mat paper. A Plexiglas display case, with magnetic locks, comes with the book.
Printed in square 30 x 30 centimetres, the book costs 950 Euro. More information on how to order by e-mail at news@pabfrance.com or here.
