It's not the actual act of hauling that is amazing here, but how the heck did he get all of those tires up that high and keep them balanced before he even started pedaling?!?
Holy cow, did you some other pictures there?

I did me some. I hope everybody clicks on the word "photos" at the bottom of the linked page which turns on a little pointer on the right side of the first picture to take you to through the slideshow. Mind boggling loads and at the same time very beautiful images! Thanks trx1 for sharing that with us!

Well, it's a trike. I suspect the bundles were tied together, and put on with a crane or crane analogue. A vertical pole wouldn't surprise me either.

things to say to the bike driver.
I want the one on the bottom.
I want a nickles worth
I believe the pix is staged by an artist. too many elements come together for it to be just a snap shot. where do you find a street with so little traffic.
That shot deserves to be in a "mu- z- em then you don't"

It is photo shopped... the stack of tyres does not cast the same shadow as other objects in the image.

I don't think so. If someone had enough skills and determination to do this they'd have though about the shadow. I think it's just diffused, he may be under a cloud; no direct sunlight.

I don't have a problem with the shadows.
I do find that first image of the set almost too perfectly composed. That is not a complaint. I think its a marvelous picture. The two bicycles at opposing angles with that monolithic, yet almost gothic building on the far side of the wall is great. The limited palette of colors is also very strong and almost stylized.
There is a theme running through the pics of bicycle, wall and then massive buildings behind.
He's a talented guy.
And props to those pedaling those amazing loads. I'd hate to have to push one of those bikes into a headwind.

Dunno if the pictures are photo shopped or not, but they do look like they have been tweaked for color and some content. However the loads in question are not out of the ordinary in many parts of the world.

The creations were published in Déclic Photo ( a French photography publication).
https://www.declicphoto.fr
Here is the PDF which shows the images along with text (in French)
https://www.alaindelorme.com/PDF/declicphoto.pdf
In the pdf, many, if not most of the images, have clearly been modified.

Shopped or not (i'm still downloading the PDF) they're cool pictures. But something doesn't look right in them. Even if they're shopped they're still good art I think, as long as the creator doesn't try to pass them off as untouched photos.

I agree. Something doesn't look right about all of them. ********************???

Photoshopped, enhanced, or untouched, my favorites are the florist (Totem #8) and the (looks like) food or drink cases (Totem #4). They're simply beautiful.

In that picture of the tires, the rider seems perfectly clean and non-sweaty. Having handled my share of tires through the years, I can't imagine getting them all stacked up like that without looking like a mess yourself. So yeah, makes me wonder if the pictures weren't staged. Reminds me also of the camper tricycle, where the project as a whole was in fact a photo project.
