Kristof’s book is titled <i>The Art of Suffering</i> for a reason. As he aptly sums up in the book’s opening quote: “Where the conditions get grimmer and the riders start to suffer, that’s when the more interesting stories begin.”</p> <p class="text-align-center"> </p><div id="paragraph-80076" class="paragraph paragraph--type--collage paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="paragraph-content"> <div class="bnh-collage-wrap bnh-collage-type-481" style="max-width:960px;"><figure class="bnh-collage-figure"><div class="bnh-collage-wrap-inside" style=" padding-bottom:56.25%;"><div class="bnh-collage-image-wrap bnh-collage-wrap-image-0" style="top: 0;left: 0;width: 25%;height: 25%;border:2px solid transparent;"><figure class="bnh-collage-figure"><div class="bnh-collage-image"><a href="https://static.bhphotovideo.com/explora/sites/default/files/tsc/1_Kramon_LottoBelisol_2014trainingcamp_DSC7157%20-%20Version%202.jpg" title="Belgian cyclist Boris Vallée &amp; Norwegian Vegard Breen flying up Sa Calobra at the 2014 pre-season training camp, Mallorca, Spain.

Born and raised in Belgium, Kristof discovered photography while attending film school at age 19. He eventually followed his passion for cycling and photography and has focused exclusively on this sport since 2011.</p> <p>Working under the name Kramon, his talent for storytelling and his ability to capture the atmosphere and raw emotion of racing makes his images stand out from typical race photography. Kristof’s reputation has earned him the respect and trust of many of the biggest racing teams and riders - which is why he’s able to capture such extraordinary in-between moments and behind-the-scenes images. The riders are always his primary focus, as evidenced in his close-up portraits of racers caked in sweat, mud, dust, snow, and grime. Kristof’s first book, <i>The Art of Suffering,</i> was released in June 2024 by Laurence King Publishing.</p> <h2>Stay Connected:</h2> <p><b>Phil Penman Website: </b><a href="https://www.philpenman.com/" target="_blank">https://www.philpenman.com</a></p> <p><b>Phil Penman</b> <b>Instagram:</b> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/philpenman/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/philpenman/</a></p> <p><b>Phil Penman</b> <b>Facebook: </b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/philpenmanphotography/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/philpenmanphotography/</a></p> <p><b>Phil Penman Twitter: </b><a href="https://x.com/Penmanphoto" target="_blank">https://x.com/Penmanphoto</a></p> <p><b>Phil Penman Wikipedia: </b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Penman" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Penman</a></p> <p><b>Kristof Ramon Website:</b> <a href="https://kramon.be/" target="_blank">https://kramon.be/</a></p> <p><b>Kristof Ramon Instagram:</b> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kramon_velophoto" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/kramon_velophoto</a></p> <p><b>Kristof Ramon Facebook:</b> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kramon/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/kramon/</a></p> <p><b>Kristof Ramon Twitter: </b><a href="https://x.com/kristoframon" target="_blank">https://x.com/kristoframon</a></p> <p><b>Kristof Ramon Photoshelter:</b> <a href="https://kramon.photoshelter.com/" target="_blank">https://kramon.photoshelter.com/</a></p> <p><b>Kristof Ramon Flickr: </b><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kristoframon/" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/kristoframon/</a></p> <p><b>Kristof Ramon at Lawrence King Publishing:</b> <a href="https://us.laurenceking.com/products/the-art-of-suffering" target="_blank">https://us.laurenceking.com/products/the-art-of-suffering</a></p> <hr style="border:0px solid #bfbfc1; width:75%; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; margin-top:25px; border-bottom-width:1px;"> <p style="font-size:14px;line-height:17px;"><strong>Host:</strong>Derek Fahsbender<br><br> <strong>Senior Creative Producer:</strong> Jill Waterman<br><br> <strong>Senior Technical Producer:</strong> Mike Weinstein<br><br> <strong>Executive Producer: </strong>Richard Stevens</p> </div> <section class="node-comments clearfix"> <h2 class="comments-title"><span class='speech-bubble-icon'><svg class="gcommenta"><use xlink:href="#gcommenta"></use></svg></span></h2> <div id="comment-form-wrapper" data-nid="" class="clearfix"></div> <div class="all-comment-wrapper"></div> </section>
