Between energy and exhaustion, Jérôme Blin and Gaëtan Chevrier reflect on a chaotic adventure that ultimately strengthened their desire to promote a shared vision of photography. How did the collective come about in 2008? Jérôme Blin: Along with Benoit Arridiaux (the third…

A favorite from our collaborator Jean Loh. Xu Yong is one of the very few Chinese photographers for whom I have the greatest admiration, for the simple reason that he seems to me to be the only one working on the passing of “time” and on preserving our collective “memory”. In a society that has made official a consistent policy of amnesia, through censorship of history teachings, especially of certain…

Luke Oppenheimer : Allowing oneself time. The world of photography is a sharp mirror, an art of the moment where each emotion is captured just before it disappears. Few photographers manage to seize this tension between the ephemeral and the essential like Luke Oppenheimer. A renowned documentary photographer, his lens transcends the mere image to reveal visual stories that are both poignant and captivating, where every detail uncovers a deep…
On the occasion of Berlin Art Week, The Little Black Gallery and CHAUSSEE 36 Photography present the exhibition Uncensored by AdeY. AdeY’s art is in the borderland of photography and performance and depicts the naked body in playful formations and in minimalistic rooms and empty landscapes. No one really knows who AdeY is. The British-Swedish artist’s real name, age and place of residence are still unknown. AdeY left a career…
The Galeria Alta in Andorra presents an exhibition of photographs by Ramón Masats, one of the little-known pioneers of Spanish photojournalism.

Gentle, empathetic and possessed of an eye for truly remarkable compositions, he found in photography a…
The title of the portfolio is surprising: RugbyQueen. These images are by a young photographer: Blandine Vives. They are accompanied by this text: The first LGBTQA+ rugby club was founded in Sydney in 2004, marking a crucial milestone in the history of sport and inclusion. Since its inception, one of its distinctive features has been its funding through drag queen shows. During rugby training and matches, nothing differentiates players from…

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…

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…
