With whom Arthur Elgort has not worked with, might be easier to answer than with whom he actually has, because the gifted photographer probably has shot for all renowned magazines. He has created portraits of famous models and fashion icons which stand out through their unconventional and refreshing style. Those portrayed—such as Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, or Christy Turlington—appear carefree and at ease. One can tell that Arthur Elgort brings…

Scenes in the Park I have always made it a point to visit parks, in cities that I have visited over the years. Parks like Central Park in NY, Parc Mt. Royal in Montreal, Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, Hyde Park in London, and many others, offer a temporary escape from the boisterous hustling sounds and intense activity which are common today in these modern cities. Parks serve as a temporary refuge for people;…

For all those who have had the chance to admire one or two photographic works by Denis Brihat, simply representing onions, a new chance is offered. Indeed, the excellent publishing house of photography books: “le bec en l’air”, has put together a superb new book for us, on Denis. This book is one of the major books that a connoisseur of the photographic sphere must have in his personal library.…
Some labels outlive their usefulness and anyone now calling themselves a war photographer should arouse more suspicion than applause. We certainly don’t need professional photographers to remind us that war is about killing people, its violence obscene, and Tim Hetherington – who did not like having the label ‘war photographer’ attached to his work – thought and felt this. It is something that makes his death, at the age of…
For me, there is always the work being presented but also there is the presentation. Last week the Getty Center made me smile with the freshness of their presentation, the way they made their exhibition an invitation to see more than the art on the walls. First Came a Friendship: Sidney B. Felsen and the Artists at Gemini G.E.L., on view now at the Getty Center brings previously unseen work to…
This new exhibition that the Little Big Galerie is devoting to Estelle Lagarde constitutes a trilogy. Trilogy born from the photographer's desire to confront her approach, her narrative and emotional ambition, no longer at the heart of the building, the constructions of human architecture, but this time towards the outside, nature, the landscape, the elements that sculpt and cross them. And always at the center, the child. The link that…

Kyriakos Kaziras is not only a photographer, but also an artist, a magician capturing the beauty of the world through his lens. With Greek roots and steeped in French culture, he embodies the harmonious fusion of these two worlds. His passion for visual art was born in the very cradle of civilisation, awakened by the stories of his grandfathers, benevolent guides to the world of creativity. From the very beginning,…
There are photographers specialising in reportage - a snapshot here & there, their passage is just a sigh. There are those who swear by the documentary approach - they follow a subject for several months or even years. But Danny Willems' work defies all comparison. He has photographed the Belgian artist Arno for 50 years - the photographer became a friend, a collaborator, an advisor. In the words of Stephan…
No less than three cultural places in the city of the three towers, La Rochelle, have joined forces to receive the photographer's numerous images: Carré Amelot, La Sirène, the city's current music hall as well as the FEMA, international film festival.

In 1937, a new magazine was launched in the UK. Though small in size, fitting into a pocket, it would have a tremendous impact. Lilliput, founded by European Hungarian émigré Stefan Lorant (1901- 1997), was the first British magazine to publish an impressive roster of international photographers, including Erwin Blumenfeld, Herbert Matter, Willy Ronis, Brassaï, Pierre Jahan and Ergy Landau. It published a series of now-famous reportage by Bill Brandt,…
