During a trip through Africa from 1965 to 1967, Hans Feurer developed a strong passion for photography, which he professionalized step by step. He made his international breakthrough in 1967 and has not stopped traveling since. He shot on the Seychelles many times, not because he loved going there, but because he chose to live on these beautiful islands for several years. Being at home in paradise influenced his work…
Hans Feurer cherishes the female body and sets it iconically in scene. It all comes together in a very natural way, and the strength of his female subjects always remains visible. He creates iconic images of beautiful bodies and of notable strong women. Feurer prefers to work with a long focal length, which makes his point of view quite narrow and the object much bigger, as can be seen in…
Hans Feurer grew up with his two siblings. His mother had to take care of the children by herself, her husband having left when the children were small. Feurer says that a woman, from his point of view, is always the stronger one. In 1973, his resume pictures for childhood friend Susi Wyss showed a strong, elegantly dressed woman standing on a rooftop looking over the Paris skyline. The well-known…

Victor Demarchelier : Aestheticism & Light It is certain, his name is not unknown to you, obviously Victor, is none other than the youngest son of Patrick Demarchelier, one of the greatest French fashion photographer. If his parents never put pressure on him regarding his future, Victor (the only one of the siblings to have followed in his father's footsteps) began by studying art and economics at Vassar College in…
“Anonymous” Burmese Photographer twice honored, in Perpignan and Bayeux, is it the end of Burmese documentary photography? When I first visited Rangoon in 1996, I was so naïve, I flagged down a broken taxi (you could see the road under your feet through the rusty floor plan), and excitedly told the young and festy taxi driver: “Take me to see Aung San Suu Kyi!”. I had been admiring “the Lady”…
It is often said of the photograph that it fixes an instant forever, that it stops time and freezes a moment of life. But here, as I lost myself in the procession of Philippe's photos, what struck me instead was this backwash of moments. Looking at the slide show in the half-light of this cabin, I had the impression of being immersed in a plurality of lives, in a swirl…
Mel D. Cole has spent the last 20 years documenting music, nightlife and more. In April 2020, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, Cole started driving around New York City documenting the streets. But when George Floyd was murdered, Cole dedicated the rest of 2020 and beyond to photographing the Black Lives Matter protests that swept the country, and their ramifications. In addition to canvassing the action…
In a highly hallucinogenic photographic journey, the artist explores the mythical lair of prehistory in France, the cave of Chauvet-Pont d´Arc, and reveals some of its supernatural bark. When this cavity adorned with extraordinary wall paintings was discovered in 1994, the three researchers, including Mr. Chauvet, immediately understood that it could never be opened as it was to the public. The lesson of what happened in Lascaux was remembered. A…
I do not know Pascal Bonneau personally. As a client, I had already deserted Pictorial, the temple of photographic laboratories at the time, when he joined in the mid-1980s, an exceptional team. The character seems very pleasant and his various relationships are very friendly. But as always, I don't care who the character is, what concerns us are his works, his work and his creativity. On the creativity side, nothing…
The first edition of my book "1960/1970" being sold out, we decided to reprint it by adding 16 pages with photos that are perhaps less known. The size is the same as the previous one, but due to my advanced age I'm tired of heavy books, so I thought a lighter cover would be welcome. I would like to thank the "Loin de Paris" editions at Privat for ensuring that…
Improbable souls The ghosts worry, surprise. Some people believe in another life, others don't. In the absence of tangible evidence, it is sometimes difficult to have a definite opinion on this subject, even if certain facts may suggest that they are real, while unexplained appearances will not convince those who remain skeptical and rational, who do not believe than what they see. In any case, these fascinating, bewitching beings are…
A farmhouse in the Cévennes The photographs that make up the "Un mas en Cévennes" series were taken on the edge of the Gard Cévennes, in an isolated place, forgotten by tourist flows, on an ungrateful and mountainous land long devoted to agriculture. From valleys to valleys, from farmhouse to farmhouse, an aging population lives and survives, with unchanging daily life. The seasons impose their rhythm there, according to the…
Venice at Night I have traveled to Venice, Italy to photograph the city every year for the last12 years with this year being an exception because of the Covid virus. The photos in this collection are a small part of my larger project. Tourists seldom see the city after dark except in the areas that they frequent because of the restaurants they like and most are in bed by 11:00…
Marine vanities From Pont-Aven to Lorient, I walked for days along the coastal path with the sea and the horizon to the right, the land to the left and, above me, the wonderfully changing sky. However, it was while walking under cover along the rias that I found what I was looking for without knowing it: wrecks rotting in the mud left by the tides and eaten by marine plants.…
After the light Darkness fell suddenly as though an evil wizard had waved a magic wand and made the world stand still. The confinement began and we all were under house arrest unable to go further than a kilometer from our front doorstep. With nowhere to go I began to wander the empty, ancient streets of my village, Tourbes, camera in hand searching for images. Walking through the village is…
Water Haiku Nature always creates visual connections following a rythm and showing patterns of temporary forms : I like to capture the simple beauty of these ephemeral moments which are often overlooked. Water Haiku is part of my project on the exploration of the visual language of nature in its state of flux. It focuses on water interacting with rocks or plants, creating abstractions and distortions that mirror the tumultuous life…

Famed for his stunning and iconic images, Greg Gorman is a legend. Not only because he has been moving and shaking the Hollywood portraiture industry for more than 50 years, but also because he is one of the three photographers whose works have shaped the Hollywood myth. In 2013, I had the great pleasure of meeting him during his first exhibition at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, and have…
