- [Merisotakoulu](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/merisotakoulu/) - The Merisotakoulu project began halfway between Stockholm, where Fréger had just finished the Glögg series, and Helsinki, where he was in the early stages of the series Steps.

- [Glögg](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/glogg/) - A secondary school in the suburbs of Stockholm. Charles Fréger had visited it years before when he was at agricultural college.

- [Steps](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/steps/) - Charles Fréger first headed north, for the ice, the cold, and the synchronised skating.

- [Majorettes](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/majorettes/) - When he began the Majorettes series in 2000, Charles Fréger never suspected that it would take him to so many small towns and villages in the northern region of France.

- [Camouflages](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/camouflages/) - In Camouflages, the uniform is on the skin.

- [Miss](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/miss/) - Two of the seven beauty queens in these photographs are majorettes. Charles Fréger met them in the north of France while he was doing his Majorettes series and they told him about the beauty contest that was going on in a small coastal town near where they lived.

De l’opéra, dont les codes et symboliques lui avaient jusqu’alors
- [Hereros](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/hereros/) - On dit des robes des femmes hereros qu’elles comptent sept jupons. Ce peuple du nord de la Namibie, partageant la même langue que les Himbas auxquels Charles Fréger dédie également une série, a vu son histoire bouleversée par la conquête coloniale du pays. En 1904, le peuple Herero se soulève contre la colonisation allemande, mouvement

- [Penitente](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/penitente/) - Ce sont les premiers visages masqués apparaissant dans le corpus de portraits jusqu’alors constitué.

- [Menti](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/menti/) - L’école de police de Moscou : l’environnement, comme à l’attendu, est austère et les uniformes, aux couvre-chefs si caractéristiques, d’une époque autre. Pourtant, côtoyer le charme de la désuétude post-soviétique et pratiquer la chasse aux reliques n’est pas ce qui occupe ici le photographe. Il y a, comme pour Rikishi, et bientôt Empire, la négociation à
- [les hommes Verts](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/les-hommes-verts/) - Ils tiennent leur balai comme un roi tiendrait son sceptre. Ce sont les balayeurs de la ville de Paris, des 7e et 14e arrondissements.

C’est dans un club de

- [Majorettes](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/majorettes/) - Alors qu’il l’entamait en 2000, Charles Fréger ne se doutait pas que la série Majorettes l’amènerait à sillonner les villes et bourgades du Nord Pas-de-Calais pour constituer la première de ses séries qui revêtent une telle dimension : 60 clubs visités au cours de 20 festivals et autant de week-ends, et 180 clichés retenus, tous publiés
- [Liteau](https://www.charlesfreger.com/portfolio/liteau/) - Comme Pattes blanches, Liteau est réalisée à Poligny, dans le Jura français, cette fois dans un lycée préparant aux carrières hôtelières.
