Of French origin and now based in Los Angeles, he has carved out a unique vision through his photography, which oscillates between realism and dreamlike imagery. Founder of the IrisWork studio in 2005, he excels in both commercial photography and a more…

La Galerie Rouge presents its new exhibition, Willy Ronis, Le Tourbillon de la Vie. An emblematic figure of humanist photography, Willy Ronis (1910-2009) defined this French school as "the gaze of the photographer who loves human beings." Influenced by music and painting, he composed his images with the precision of an artist, capturing everyday life with a rare sensitivity and undisguised joy. He saw photography as a way to sublimate…

To mark its tenth anniversary, the IBASHO gallery in Antwerp is celebrating the sharing of Japanese photography and its minimalist aesthetic with a retrospective: "Looking Back: 10 Years of IBASHO." As its name suggests, IBASHO—which means "a place where you can be yourself" in Japanese—was designed as a relaxed and welcoming space where everyone can feel at home.

Fantômatique The art of urbex photography captures the abandoned, overgrown remains of the past. Each image tells a story of places once alive, but now haunted by the ghost of their former glory. Urbex photographers often use artistic techniques to accentuate the mysterious, melancholy atmosphere of these forgotten places. Light effects, original angles and post-production effects can transform a simple photo into a striking work of art. The specter of…

The Sentinels In this photographic work, I have isolated corn stalks. They inhabit the roadside with indifference. At regular intervals, they take the form of fields that are proposed to colonize. Their slender shape and alignment made me think of cohorts of soldiers. By isolating them photographically, they make me think of sentinels. In terms of texture, the rendering I wanted is close to the notion of paper, a kind…

Make love Not war When I work in harmony with nature, I am grateful to live in a country where war is not present. By using this slogan from the 1960s, I wish to raise awareness among our current and future generation of the challenges of a war which is raging in certain countries. Isn't living in harmony and loving your neighbor more important? Shouldn't we give more importance to…

Strangers in the Park Strangers in the Park is a series of black and white portraits of total strangers, predominantly taken in Washington Square Park. I began the project in the summer of 2024. I am using my Wista 4”x5” field camera with a 90mm and 210mm lens, which I bought in 1985 and have hardly used since the early 1990’s. The project has been a wonderful revelation for me……

Naked of Meaning Concept The impossibility of meaning becomes the core of these images. Objects, stripped of their sense, appear suspended in an impenetrable atmosphere. The veil distorts the light, amplifying the impenetrability of phenomena. The series represents a mental state in which thoughts, emptied of meaning, emphasize the mystery of perception. General project description "Naked of Meaning" is a visual investigation into the enigmatic void that permeates existence. The…

Doubt and questioning The beginning of the film or the end of the story? We will know, no doubt, later. You will have to find the key, untie the thread, put down the suitcase.

Sartiglia The term Sartiglia derives from the Castilian “Sortilla”, which in turn derives from the Latin “Sorticula”, which means ring but also “Sors”, meaning luck. The Sartiglia in fact consists of the knights' attempt to hit a target, the star, by challenging fate. Sartiglia has very distant origins. In the 11th century, military games were introduced in Europe and were used to train militias. These races, over the years, underwent…

Palazzo Ducale, residence of the Doge since 1339 and today an important centre of cultural production, is located in the heart of Genoa, the modern city that coincides with that of the ancient and powerful Maritime Republic. It’s here that the exhibition Extremely Close, Incredibly Far is being held, a tribute to the Genoese artist and photographer Lisetta Carmi on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of her birth. A…
