Thomas Millet : The Art of Portrait Thomas Millet was originally destined to be an architect before becoming Denis Rouvre's assistant. In October 2000, he left to be the photographer on the "Wanaume" expedition: 170,000 km in Land Rover and two years of travel from Paris to Cape Town via the Middle East and East Africa, followed by a crossing of South America. Back in France, Thomas Millet began a…
In the 1980s, a young generation of artists began to breathe fresh life into the genre of portraiture, most notably Thomas Ruff, who as a student in the class of the influential photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher created sober and razor-sharp portraits in the environment of the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf. Claudia van Koolwijk studied at the Kunstakademie at the same time, but in the painting classes of Fritz Schwegler and Alfonso…

Aperion In April 2022, I was an Artist in Residence at the Wallace Stegner House in Eastend, Saskatchewan. I experienced firsthand the environment from his childhood recollections in Wolf Willow. He writes “…a land with no transition between earth and sky: in the heat the horizons melted and ran; on the flats the sky and clouds moved in the reflecting sloughs.” In southeastern Saskatchewan, at the edge of the Cypress Hills,…
Random Fragments The object in the object, the subject in the subject. The further away you are from an object, the more you can see it as a whole. However, the closer you get to it, the more you can see other things. The Random Fragments series brings together pictures of abandoned construction machinery. Disused utility vehicles that transform over time. My artistic approach questions the concept of the visual…
Qatar Qatar, your people have been pearl merchants, skilled fishermen, warriors, businessmen, and financiers, all the while keeping a toe on the line of your borders to always stay in touch with their land. Doha the Ambitious, whose development shows us how fine the line between conservatism and capitalism can be, just as when the mystical sound of the Adhan matches with the more mechanical one of the tractor-trackers, and…
Red Long-time independent professional photographer, in the industrial and advertising field, he finally takes the time for his personal research focused on color and material, and the resulting atmosphere is always guided by the rigor of the composition, and often close to painting. His perception of the final image must be for him a link between the subject and everyone's experience, that is to say a link between the commonplaces…
The umbrellas of Montmartre Street photographer for several years, I specialized in Paris and mainly Montmartre in B&W. Except for the urban landscape, I very rarely take color photos on the street. I never ask a subject to pose, because the most important thing in street photography is the fleeting moment, the natural. I like to cross Paris on foot alone or with a friend, in search of photos. I…
South of the Delta, in the Comacchio valleys Wandering in the valley, along the canal, stopping in the silence. Observe the whole, the fusion of nature and architecture in a single composite “landscape” where only the light changes the unchanging vision over time. Forget the borders, cross the banks slowly. The land and the fresh and salt water, the reeds and the casoni, the embankments and the fishing stations constitute a…
Crossed Glances - Street Photo Crossed glances, moments of life captured, stolen, immortalized, unusual images, moments of grace. The street offers us moving, amusing, unusual, singular, disturbing images that never leave street photography indifferent. Street photography echoes life. Transience of the suspended moment, durability of the photographed moment. The blacks and whites are deep, sometimes very rough, thus giving intensity to the image. These intentionally imperfect, sometimes blurry photos arouse…
Heinz Cibulka: from tradition to invention A friend of Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Heinz Cibulka was part of the Viennese Actionist movement in the 1960s. He was with two students Matthias Fiegl and Wolfgang Stranzinger the founder of Lomography in 1991 when they discovered the Lomo LC-A at a Prague flea market. The device is then no longer in production. Sensing the potential of the images taken with the device, they founded the…
