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…

Beauty, complexity and cruelty Born in 1948 in Toulouse, Philippe Blache has always seen his mother paint, and this is how he became familiar with the world of art. But very early on it was photography that attracted him, and more particularly the work of the photographer Edward Weston. Equipped with a 24x36 Miranda, he developed his films in the kitchen and when the day was over, it was 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…

Yesterday, I introduced you to a small side of this astonishing character: the photographer Serge Assier. For this second part, I'm showing you what he calls his life as a entertainer.

However, you can shake his hand, except that it will…
