MMX Gallery presents ATO>MIC, an exhibition of unique Luminograms by Michael G Jackson, his second solo show in the gallery. The “>” (greater-than sign) in the ato>mic title of the series is a link and the difference between larger and smaller scales of the artistic representation of miniature still life and the enormity of an atomic explosion. These two influencing ideas have inspired Jackson’s creative process. Instead of using carving stone…
“Sang noir” can be regarded as the photographic illustration of a modern tale or legend which would take up the recurring themes and characters of the genre: the hunter, the pack, the wild beast, the magical and threatening forests and… the blood. Photographer Elie Monferier involves an immemorial work on the activity of hunting as a metaphor for the human trajectory. The man-hunter crossed the border of a forest symbol…
(4/5) Throughout the duration of the exhibition at the Jeu de Paume in Paris of the exceptional Walther collection bequeathed to Moma, L’Œil de la Photographie focuses on one masterpiece in particular. Today, urban suction pads. Five dancing tentacles, as if carried away by the current of the cities, articulated especially since it has just snowed in this park and so we can more clearly distinguish its defined form. We…

Lost "Feeling lost, completely overwhelmed by deep fears or inaccessible dreams is a very difficult moment to live. Balance is fragile… dream or reality ? We are petrified, hesitating between going ahead and facing up to what lies ahead or turning around and running away! This feeling of helplessness is strengthened by the fact that we are often alone to face this challenge. Alone in one’s head, alone on this…
Planktonium This is a photo series about the unseen world of living microscopic plankton; a secret universe, inhabited by alien-like creatures. These stunningly beautiful, very diverse and numerous organisms are unknown to most of us because they are invisible to the naked eye. However, they are wandering beneath the surface of all waters around us and they are of vital importance for all life on earth. Phytoplankton (small plant-like cells)…
I usually offer author projects whose approach is artistic - it's up to you! Today, I offer you a report made with a Kodak 1A that my grandmother bought in 1934 for the birth of my mother, and which I inherited as the family photographer. Every year I go to the great gathering of pre-1947 cars and motorcycles, the Normandy Beach Race in Ouistreham. Matching eras between photo equipment and…
Africa : Blue Mirages Collection Photographic art is here defined not by the aesthetic properties of images, but by the concept or idea of art. Reflection on the language of works, philosophy replaces the aesthetics of works. Surrealist photographic art is an intellectual approach that shows less than it evokes. The first requirement of this collection of blue mirages is to analyze what allows art to be art with the…
Spectacular Forms This series describes very elementary forms in a photographic way. Specifically, it is about some skate ramps that are constructed in such a way that they can make skating exciting. They evolve, under the influence of composition and light, from banal to spectacular. Frank Verreyken www.frankverreyken.com
Minimoi Inspired by the French photographer Gilbert Garcin for his self-portraits where he stages himself in reduced size and by the Spanish photographer Chema Madoz for his diversions of everyday objects, I started a series of self-portraits in color where I put myself on stage around objects present at home. I appear reduced in size compared to my surroundings, diverting objects from their primary function to produce humorous photos. This…
Abstract – the book I have just published (self-published) a book of photographs whose title is Abstract with a text by the psychoanalyst Alain Vanier. I think an excerpt from this text fits the introduction of this image sequence: Abstract : A summary, but also an abstraction. Isn't the abstraction of the image a way of revealing its hidden structure, the one that regulates its composition, the secret geometric arrangement…

Known for their theatrical installations combining photography, video and sculpture around environmental themes, Jane and Louise Wilson are presenting an exhibition at the Sorbonne Artgallery which is the culmination of work carried out over the past two years during residencies on Gapado Island in South…
The British photographer brought back from this region close to the Black Sea a succession of photographs taken from March to June 1855. An exhibition unveils these images rarely exhibited at the Château de Chantilly. You have to imagine what war reportage represented in that distant era. When the Royal Photography Society commissioned Roger Fenton (1819 - 1869) to take pictures of the Crimean War which began two years earlier…
Written by Maïlys Derville Once considered a niche market, fashion photography is now considered an internationally recognised art form in its own right. As a photographic genre devoted to clothing and clothing style, the history of fashion photography is inextricably linked to that of the women's press. Although the first fashion photographs officially appeared in the 19th century, advertising posters and specialised magazines - such as Vogue - still preferred…
A pearl in the center of nowhere! In the middle of a forest of wind turbines in this Berry champagne (between Bourges and Vierzon), is the town of Graçay. This village maintains a close relationship with photography since its inception. Lucien Prévost [1875-1911], whose name was given to the museum, was a young engineer passionate about photography, who had an adventurous and incredible life, he was enthusiastic about the cinematography…

Five days of effervescence for this event which asserts itself year after year as a unique opportunity to…
Written by Michel Cresp Charles Nègre, one of the most important photographers of the 19th century, was born in Grasse in 1820 and died there in 1880. Encouraged by his father, a famous confectioner, the young Charles quickly showed a disposition for art. and left for Paris in 1839 where he learned painting in the studio of Paul Delaroche. On August 19 of that same year, Louis Daguerre's photographic process…
