The "AMERICANA" series was produced in one month of shooting across different emblematic locations in the USA. It is a true artistic approach zooming in on a suspended moment in American history and which comes, like a tender memory, to remind us of a happy and dreamy America.

Since his world is tinged with jazz, swing, blues and rock’n roll, French photographer Oliver Lavielle is a fan of the period spanning the 1940s to the 1970s. A tireless globetrotter, he finds inspiration in the legendary Route 66, which he explores at the wheel of a classic old American car. He stops to photograph shiny chrome airplanes, highlighting the perfect aerodynamics of their delicately aggressive mechanics. They are the living testaments of a wonderful era, which the Americana series showcases by inviting the spectator to take to the air.
