This exhibition invites itself into the heart of a kind of waiting room before entering the adult world. In the meantime, this Parisian youth are questioning themselves , confronted with "sturm et drang" impulses (the storm and the impulse), which…
His name is Jean Charles Blanc. His book is titled: Fermé le dimanche (Closed on Sunday). It is published by éditions à la sauvette. He accompanied his images with this text: Pedestrian of Paris, how many times I had the project of making little Parisian “sketches”. But my photographic attempts always left me unsatisfied. I had the idea of photographing a street. Not Ed Ruscha style, but a street full…
Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle At the beginning of my short career as a professional photographer, in the 1960s, at each first meeting with an artistic director of that time and after his quick glance at my "book", the same question arose: how much for taking this picture ? Faced with such a question, a true creator always remains very hesitant. Indeed, if the working time, the perspiration, and the sides…

King of the Streets My photo project is a collection of candid moments from the King of the Streets annual event in the Mission District, San Francisco. The Mission is one of the oldest and most exuberant neighborhoods in San Francisco. This is an evolving neighborhood with Latino roots and a hipster vibe, brilliant artwork, and beautiful architecture. The moments are fleeting, inconsequential, and sometimes appear to be hardly real.…
A different way of seeing How to see when you have lost your sight. How to adapt in a society that has become so visually driven. How to perceive the world differently. This documentary project, whether featuring people who were born blind or those who lost their sight later in life, bears witness to the daily lives and resilience of individuals with partial or total blindness. The series tells their…
Le Dernier Déjeuner Dînatoire Last year our mother died at the age of 103 years. Our father died 20 years earlier. They had lived in harmony in the same house for more than 60 years. A beautiful house, leaving many memories. And it had to be emptied. Chairs, tables, beds, books, paintings, lamps, plates, glassware, cutlery, etcetera. Every object told a story. And we retold them. Our mother had studied…
The Paris Olympics at Rockefeller Center Though Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan is well known for its more than 100 major art works, right now both New Yorkers and tourists alike have been gathering there to watch the Olympics. A viewing village has been set up by NBC, whose home is situated in Rockefeller Center.
Street theater In a quiet town in Quebec, which owes its life to a river whose only tumult is the sound of the falling spring flood, a street theatre takes on the appearance of a Carnival in which the street gives way to the imagination. The break from normality becomes a photographic feast that has its demands due to the nighttime conditions. On the main square, the allegory of the…
Nostalgic Deauville During a short stay in Deauville, I discovered a very endearing town, far from the glitz and glamour I'd imagined. I found the kind of soul that photographers love. I was charmed by its old-fashioned charm, with its elegant Belle Epoque villas that tell the story of this city, a luxury vacation destination since the 1800s. I wandered its streets and crossed the threshold of some of its…
Technical Images of Flux As a result of its origins in the industrial revolution, the camera is widely regarded as a mechanical tool or device which – like a microscope or telescope – provides an accurate and objective record of things in the world “as they really are” (Ross, 1982). This project (Technical Images of Flux – part of my ongoing ‘Give agency to the medium, stand back and see…
The Jeu de Paume presents the vibrant and unique work of Tina Barney, a great figure in American photography, whose work, mainly around family relationships, has been very little shown in France. Tina Barney. Family Ties, which retraces 40 years of the artist's career, is the largest European retrospective devoted to her to date. Born in 1945, Tina Barney began photographing her relatives and friends at the end of the 1970s.…

In the extensive universe of fashion, certain stories aren't just meant to be told—they demand to be etched into history. Published by Thames & Hudson, A Fashion Record isn’t merely a book; it's a journey through time, an intimate exploration of the moments that have shaped the very essence of style and elegance. Anna Balda and Maria Kublin, with their sharp vision and unparalleled sensitivity, invite us into this world…
Aurélie’s Gallery presents No Land a new online photography exhibit by French-Dutch female artist Kiritin Beyer. From a former penal colony in French Guyana to a closed sanatorium in New York Bay, Kiritin Beyer captured how nature reclaims man-made constructions and erases painful pasts. Her images evoke human endeavors colliding with the passage of time. They speak of death and decay, oblivion and history, but also of life and the…

I would like to end this trilogy of articles dedicated to Serge Assier, with his creative side which is an essential part of his photographic journey. Behind the meticulous photographer who chased the scoop for Le Provençal, the daily newspaper of Provence, and for Gamma, his press agency, there is also a creator. On the one hand, the news items, sometimes bordering on the sordid, on the other, faithful friends…
