Thibaut Grevet on His work for New York City Ballet's 2026 Art Series

"In the case of Thibaut Grevet, this urge to capture his childhood friends' feats speaks to the project she's completed in recent years, with professional models, athletes, and artists-including, now, New York City Ballet dancers. Grevet found himself organically drawn into the art world, where through early documentary captures, particularly amongst skateboarders, he soon met other young artists straddling the worlds of commerce and creativity."

"His work often reflects his ongoing interest in capturing moments of perfection in execution, stutter-stopping time, and abstractions of the human form and landscape. His photography similarly spans the worlds of sports and fashion, all created with an openness of approach that uses analog or digital effects, or a combination of the two. In 2022, he collected a number of photographs he'd taken over the years depicting subjects in motion, publishing the book Blurred."

Thibaut Grevet began experimenting with a family VHS camera to record Motocross in the French countryside and progressed from documenting skateboarders to photographing professional models, athletes, and New York City Ballet dancers. He developed an exploratory approach that mixes DIY and increasingly complex photographic techniques, combining analog and digital effects. After studying graphic design, he created campaign videos for brands such as Vans, Converse, Mercedes‑Benz, Louis Vuitton, and Calvin Klein. His work focuses on capturing moments of perfection, stutter-stopping time, and abstracting the human form and landscape. In 2022 he published the book Blurred, collecting motion-focused photographs.
