Former racer and career photographer, Camille McMillan, whose photos have appeared in some of the world's best publications, has finished his book 'Circus' and has made his collection of the world of cycling available.
The collection covers the two decade's of McMillan's passion, as well as his career snapping the pro peloton as it traveled around the world, and will be available on June 29.
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign in which McMillan raised £21,736 towards the production costs of the project, the 208-page tome can be preordered now at Waterstones and on Amazon, for £30 and £20.40 respectively.
The book's blerb sums it up better than we can, so here it is:
Whether shooting from within the Peloton, or partying with the fans on Mont Ventoux, the pictures in this beautifully-produced book reveal some of the many stories McMillan has witnessed. Sometimes intimate, other times aggressive, always beautiful, his images are unique. This exclusive anthology, with many never before seen reportage images, spans some two decades of life at the sharp end of world cycling.
This high-quality photography book is destined to have 240 pages of shoots ranging from the slopes of Alpe d’Huez to the velodrome in Ghent; from inside team cars to the cobbles of Paris Roubaix – all captured in both colour and black and white. Shot from the road – and the gutter – relive the excitement and drama of two decades of top professional bicycle racing. This most innovative and surprising of photographers takes you on a journey fuelled by his own passion for the sport.
Alternatively, if you want to hear more about the book straight from the horse's mouth, here's McMillan - who was also a juniour racer in the UK and in Europe - talking about his career, processes, and more in his Kickstarter video:
