The Guatemalan volcano Volcán de Fuego is the striking backdrop for the photograph, taken from the nearby mountain of Acatenango. In the midst of the volcano's eruption and the heavy lava flow, biker Kilian Born descends at night while lighting his way with a headlamp and the volcano's own eruption and lava flow. "The eruption was happening two kilometres further on, throwing lava 500 metres into the air. Capturing the moment was very difficult because we couldn't foresee the explosions," says JB Liautard of the photo.

The 28-year-old photographer from Valence won three prizes at this year's CVCEPHOTO: The Grand Prix for his photograph The Dune, and the third prize along with the Mendi Film prize for his photograph Fuego. Mountain biking is the focal point of his photographic work.
