The Eye Photography: World Photography Art History, Latest News and Photography Events

Winter's Passage “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” This idea, often linked to Leonardo da Vinci, resonates deeply with my approach to photographic haiga (also called shahai), blending the principles of haiku with minimalist photography. Haiku and minimalist art share a core idea: saying more with less. Both forms strip away the excess, leaving only what truly matters. Haiga brings image and poem together to tell a richer story, creating a…

Deauville I attend the “Planches Contact” photography festival in Deauville every year. It takes place in the fall and highlights both young photographers and more renowned ones. I take this opportunity to wander through the city and capture its atmosphere. The rapid changes in weather and light along the seaside, the elegance and a certain “ m’as-tu-vu “ of the city center or the famous boardwalk, not to mention the racetrack where I sometimes…

Bone Foam I find the familiar universe of Alto Minho, in Portugal, life and death and the movement between them. In balance. I recover the connection with this geographical area, with my ancestry, family, physical, spiritual; my heritage. Encounters coexist, human and non-human connections, memories, stories lived and that where told to me, the familiarity with the animals, the fog, the running water. Identity is a multitude of places. Living…

Split We are all here together for a moment. In this carriage, the minutes of our life's journey have crossed, but who are we to each other... Just fragments, signals and a vague sensation of united alienation. For a moment we gathered here together. In this carriage, the minutes of our life paths crossed, but who are we to each other... Just fragments, signals, and a vague feeling of cohesive…

Black is a colour and so is grey... ...black and white black and white black and white... how we loved black to white photography ... and we still love pixels or silver salts ... we have rightly adored her, elevated to the rank of beauty queen of sensuality and expressiveness... from E.Weston to J.Sudek, JL Sieff from W.Evans to E.Boubat, C.Batho and the remarkable shooters G.Geneste, Ph Salaün... mastery of light,…

Poetic Türkiye A year of my observation of life abroad, where time feels different and everything seems different. Of course, this is the influence of the big city. In the city you feel small, fussy, lonely, you want to succeed, plan ahead, a constant feeling of dissatisfaction, eternal comparison of yourself with other people. Disputes with the inner voice. When you dreamed of a big city while being in a…

Profil Nature For many years I have been a great lover of nature and photography. I like to go there whenever I can with or without my camera. Smelling the scents of the trees, the flowers...observing the animals without disturbing them, happiness for me. I'm really in my element. Through this series, I wanted to integrate my image into my photos and more precisely my profile which has long bothered…

“Think while you shoot”, is the fundamental motto of the Hungarian master of photography Martin Munkacsi. While he lived with his camera in his hand and photographed everything he saw, he announced the importance of capturing the moment, the movement, the idea that is born the moment you click the camera. The exhibition set up in Brescia at the Paci contemporary gallery, a large space dedicated to photography, is realized…

The most touching email of the week. It is signed by Marie-France Pougnard. These women, my alter egos. Shyness isolated me from others for a long time, depriving me of their riches. At 70 I discover the joy of encounters. I turn to these women, my alter egos, with a unique journey but so close to mine. In one I find this restraint which handicapped my youth. In this one…

Joseph Bellows Gallery presents an online exhibition of Oscar Bailey ‘s work : Abstract. Back in 1960, John Canady wrote: Oscar Bailey’s Paint Surface is an abstraction that also intensifies our response to reality, in this case not by evoking or reinforcing associations already formed, but by revealing a new aspect of something so familiar that we never look at it for ourselves. Obviously the camera’s limitation is that it…
