Archives - March 15, 2015 We met and fell in love in Paris in the mid 60's. Inspired by the magic of our relationship, during the summer of 1972, we decided to recreate our passions and pleasures on our family property in the South of France and at the beach in Saint Tropez, with the help of Nic and Caroline as our alter egos. That little cottage would be ours…
Archives - September 30, 2014 Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (1883-1971) is a fashion icon unlike any other. She invented modern clothing for women: At the height of the Belle Époque, she stripped women of their corsets and feathers, bobbed their hair, put them in bathing suits, and sent them out to get tanned in the sun. She introduced slacks, costume jewelry, and the exquisitely comfortable suit. She made the first couture…

Archives - September 13, 2012 Marilyn Monroe is a star cast to earth, a spirit in the flesh, and on camera, that’s ethereal. Eternal.

Explosions of sorts, and things leading in that direction, and stories and legends and myths. And Marilyn was the greatest star of…
Laurence Laborie : Femininity & Aestheticism. Born in the North of France, nothing predestined Laurence Laborie to become a photographer. She got her cue discovering an instamatic on a bench in a public garden when she was a teenager. This passion for the magic of the image never left her. She nevertheless pursued brilliant engineering studies at first before discovering the world of fashion by becoming a model. But very…
With the exhibition Image Capital, The Fondazione Mast in Bologna highlights a less explored aspect of photography, that of its economic value as an information technology. Used as a vector of information, the photographic image acquires a functional value whose practical uses become unlimited and offer a large potential for capitalization. As a system for creating, archiving, protecting and exchanging visual information, the image represents a resource that can be…
Photos taken without intention or reflection; accidents of the present. Maurice Renoma has chosen to present a selection of previously unseen photographs. These images were not designed to become artistic objects. They are accidents, missed takes that are sometimes the genesis of accomplished works of his career. Maurice Renoma instinctively turns to photography, a medium that allows him to spontaneously express his way of seeing the world, of behaving, of…

He does not seek to tell any truth either visually or verbally. In the titles of his series, he very consciously and self-reflexively…
