Into Their Souls An interpretation of what my “Decisive moment” is through my 52 years of Street Photography Henri Cartier-Bresson talks about what he calls “The Decisive Moment”, he says: “Composition must be one of our constant preoccupations, but at the moment of shooting it can stem only from our intuition, for we are out to capture the fugitive moment, and all the interrelationships involved are on the move.” For…
The Old Oak Or the Call of Nature Remarkable tree From a small seed, you've become the Master of this land. Several hundred years old year after year, you draw closer to the firmament. As I leaned against your bark, I felt a heartbeat... I heard it shudder.... you are the memory of the past... It is said that you are the "Tree of Doors", that you allow passage between…
Hands Hands from here, hands from elsewhere, hands from yesterday, hands from today, hands loved, hands unknown, hands placed, hands caught in flight, hands like so many portraits both singular and universal.

Śūnyatā - The Ultimate Void The images displayed here are the first in a series of a personal journey where I search answers to some fundamental questions about life, its meaning and purpose and then later my understanding about nature of ‘Reality’. This quest is taking me to every nook and corner of India meeting sadhus, monks, philosophers, scientists and charlatans alike. Images of this story were shot in different…
I first heard of Laurence Sackman in 1980. I was then an assistant to several fashion photographers in the Clic-Clac Studio, rue Daguerre in the 14th arrondissement of Paris (today Daguerre Studio). This period was relatively brief in my career and I have a rather vague memory of it. However, the name of Laurence Sackman, so often pronounced in this place, still resonates. “Laurence Sackman is here today! » :…

The 23rd Lodz FotoFestiwal will be held until June 23. This year's theme, "Letting Go / Liberation", is explained as follows by the organizers: Fotofestiwal 2024 emerged from the collective need of freeing ourselves from curatorial boundaries. Used to designing each edition around a theme, this year took the idea of letting go, to encounter a loose approach, paired with multiple readings, without full restriction of a word. Thus, the…
Peter Pflügler presents his project Now is not the right time at the Lodz Fotofestiwal 2024. Here is his text ! When I was two years old, my father went into the woods with the intention of never coming back. For almost 20 years, my parents chose silence about his suicidal attempt. And still, I found myself drawn to the place where the incident happened and on its anniversary a…
Michalina Kacperak presents her project Soft Spot at the Lodz Fotofestiwal 2024. Here is her text ! There is a very popular saying in Poland, which I have heard many times in my life in various situations: ‘Fish and children have no voice’. I decided that I would give a say to all the children and the child in me. Our family is devoid of adults, those who grew up…

Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle I am always sorry to see, before my eyes, a buyer being tricked by one of our peers without much scruple. The scene becomes totally distressing when the seller (also producer of the image) commits his misdeed in complete innocence. The worst is when the sale is made by an intermediary, also called a professional, who literally defrauds his buyers at risks shared by the author,…

The Galerie Parallax in Aix en Provence is showing an exhibition entitled “Amour de l’antique” by Alfons Alt. It is presented as follow: The works of Alfons Alt take us into two identified coexisting expressions: photography, and what would be in the order of painting. Once the shot has been taken, and its transfer treatment on the canvas carried out, Alfons Alt will apply pigment juices with a brush to…
Deborah Bell Photographs presents Conceptual Matters, an exhibition of photographs depicting artworks by artists of the late 1960s-1970s who pushed the boundaries of visual perception in performance, land art, conceptually-based body art, and photography. The 1960s introduced after Pop Art several non-narrative movements in the plastic arts including Minimalism, color-field painting, and a renewed appreciation of Assemblage. "Happenings" of the late 1950s, and the interest in dance as a form…
