In effect,…

One of our readers Patrick Mourral found this photo: “I got this print when I bought a set of frames from a frame-maker in the 17th arrondissement. It was used to illustrate the poster for " la grande braderie de la mode" in 2009 for the benefit of the fight against AIDS. I would like to know the name of the photographer: any idea? ” Patrick Mourral

Every step, every moment, landscape, moment of life captured by Céline Anaya Gautier retraces the pilgrimage of thousands of people each year who set out in search of meaning, in search of spirituality, in search of themselves on this sometimes tortuous path that is that of Compostela. Because this path is an initiatory journey towards oneself. It obliges each pilgrim to face himself, to face truths that one can usually…

From this confusion, which lasted more than twenty years, was born a protean and personal mythology which re-constructs the artist. Like the Ovidian myth, or Gregor Samsa, Tomasz Machciński cannot…

My grandmother liked to tell me, "The garlic, it's simple, it's a…

I didn’t know if I would be invited to exit the aircraft before it landed. It turned out to be my entrée to more than two decades of shooting for Time magazine.” - Tom Zimberoff A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY…
