Enter a universe on the breaking point of reality, where an intimacy and a relationship with nature emerge. The notions of time and traces of individuals were explored from two angles and different photographic processes. In the MIROIR DE POUDRE MAGIQUE series, an intimate story is told and in L’EMPREINTE DE L’OUBLI, cynaotype materials and impressions blend together. A conversation takes place between the image and its materiality, the living…

Hotel Rooms You like to dive into your image (...) Man, no one has probed the bottom of your abysses Charles Baudelaire "Man and the Sea" Wasn't the solitary life of businessmen confined to their hotel rooms already an allegory, a beginning of the post-COVID-19 world, of this dreaded "e-life"? In his photographic prophecies, Rodolphe Blavy, director of an international organization at the heart of public policy decisions, former…
Naphtha Tribes* Inspired by Edward Curtis as he immortalized Native Americans, Fab Rideti photographs the last representatives of our civilization, the "founders" of the 7th continent **, before ecological consciousness makes these portraits no longer conceivable. The series highlights consumerism and emptiness behind appearance. Like ridiculous warriors, the characters adorn themselves with plastic, a material they claim to be noble although it is causing their downfall. Fab Rideti is touched…
Paris (fragments) Far away from postcards or « Emily in Paris » point of view, this series of street photos is reflecting a more prosaic reality of Paris the « City of Lights ». Those images are reflecting the « locked down » and « curfew » atmosphere in which we live now: empty streets with no human presence but only the remaining signs of their passage. Nature, however, seems to claim in some kind of a pathetic…
Where in the World ? You might call me a supernatural noticer, a phrase that I heard recently in an “Artspeak” proclamation. I imagine that it refers to someone who moves with almost professional curiosity through a brilliantly colored world. Traveling as if in a motion picture, where all of lifes' details are carefully scrutinized through a projector that never stops. You have to observe carefully however, because a vivid…
The power of design and the contradictions between art and life Michael Nguyen photographs Munich's most colorful shopping centre facade by Prof. Dr. Rainer Funke When will the containers be loaded? Such a question comes to mind when approaching the shopping mall built in 2008 from a distance. But stop! The intense colors of the seemingly stacked cubes and their sophisticated composition immediately give rise to other associations. As if someone had…
Disappearing Soul: Self Portraits in the Time of Covid As a photographer I wanted to document my life during the Pandemic. “DISAPPEARING SOUL: SELF PORTRAITS IN THE TIME OF COVID” is a project that was born as a result of my isolation of March 13 through June 1, 2020 in New York City. As a doc/portrait photographer of women, my lens has always been aimed at someone else with me asking…
Confined, locked in a limited space, unable to live normally, humans try to find other ways not to sink. Deprived of what makes up my daily life, cafes where you linger, cinemas where you get away from it all, meetings with friends where we build another world, I took my camera, my pots of Luberon ocher and my brushes to get the anguish and fear out of me. Annie Gava…
An email on January 15th: "Hello Jean-Jacques. I like your site. Would you like to show some of my images?" It had been 40 years since we last spoke. Jay Maisel : It was the legendary arrival of color in American photography in the 60s and 70s. Jay Maisel, Art Kane, Ernst Haas, Bill Silano and Pete Turner would revolutionize everything. They are the heroes of PHOTO and we published…
What constitutes a favorite is that after seeing it every day for years, it doesn’t lose its power. I know some photographers who are always quite delighted with everything they do. I wish I was like that, but I find a great many of my images lose their power or at least my interest at some later date. Either I’m not interested in the subject anymore or I’m just no…
People are always referring to this or that “golden age.” I was lucky to start photography in a time that was often called the “Golden Age of Jazz.” I got to see and photograph Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday and others you’ll see in this collection. It was not only a golden age as far as the stars were concerned, it was a golden age…
JAY: I had never thought about having a child. My wife, L.A., thought otherwise. I of course fell in love with Amanda and started photographing her even before she was born. She is now a young woman who has wit, wisdom, and a wicked sense of humor. I stand in awe of her. She is amazing. She also hates when I compliment her so I’m getting great joy here. I…
For fifty years I lived in a unique building, the bank at 190 Bowery. In addition to an enormous amount of rooms and a decidedly decadent amount of space, it had 360° panoramic views of Manhattan. I never had to worry about having a camera with me, I had all my cameras with me. “I live here.” I never took it for granted when I came home from exotic locations;…
Haiti was one of the first times I traveled in a “foreign” country. I had always wanted to go there. It was mysterious. It was exotic. It had more artists per capita than any other country. It had great music and fantastic drumming and “Voodoo.” I was going to experience it all. Of course, I interacted very little with these things. I was swept along by the sheer energy of…
I went to Iran in 1971 to work on a book of the 2500th celebration of the formation of the Persian Empire. It was instant culture shock. I had never experienced heat (like this) before. On a less that 110°F day I saw a security guy sitting at his desk with a heater to mitigate the cold. Security was unbelievably tight. Everybody had to wear photo ID. That included people…
The first time I saw Paris… I didn't get to Europe until I was 32 years old. I had wanted to go for a long time. I had been photographing for nine years and had never been sent there. Business was good, but it never brought me to Europe. Finally, in 1963, I decided I had to go. I bought a 21-day excursion ticket. I stayed for four months. I…
