Another look at fashion photography is presented as follows by Patrick Ehme, artistic director of the festival: For many “purists”, fashion photography is, at most, only “illustration”. This on the pretext that it responds to an order with a utilitarian, mercantile and consumerist purpose... And yet! It turns out, and…
The Moments / The Street Scenes For me, photographing the streets is a process of actively observing without being noticed, it is almost like being a silent shadow; in a way, you put your identity in your pocket and become a channeler of emotions of strangers. Thanks to this voyeuristic approach I have been privileged to catch tiny little moments: a gesture or glimpse that exposes loneliness, hope, affection, joy…

A Life Long Pursuit The U.S./Mexican Border From the age of three years old, growing up in Calexico, California in a house just literally across the street from the U.S./Mexican border, I have always had a cameraaround my neck. My passion for photography began early, capturing family moments and documenting the border – a subject that has remained a lifelong focus. Whether in Calexico, Texas, Arizona or San Ysidro, the…
I am the Sea The project relates the author’s special connections to the sea and swimming. Since childhood, the sea has been a symbolic environment for the author, from which she draws psychological certainty and support. Swimming, physically overcoming the expanse of the sea, becomes a metaphor for the path to oneself, an accessible way of reassembling one’s personality, a simple way to look into one’s own depth. Endowed with…
Łódź, the “Unloved”. Łódź, a former manufacturing empire, where urbex and architectural splendor mix unabashedly, where past glory and present ugliness vie for the photographer's favor. A city in search of itself, disconcerting but fascinating. Two days to discover this city, unloved by the Poles themselves, difficult to get to grips with but moving when you take the trouble to study its history, whose photogenic charm is hidden in the…
Kaleidoscarbres Long fascinated by bare trees that desperately stretch their bends towards the sky in an attempt to catch a few rays of sunshine to warm up in winter, I photographed them aimlessly. Until, through a play of symmetries, a lacemaker turns it into a collection of astonishing arabesques as in a kaleidoscope. https://photalmo.fr
Objectification As an artist I like to explore different mediums. Photography has allowed to make pictures using a wide range of materials. The pictures appear to be portraits with out directly photographing the person. I play with this concept finding that I could create a different sort of portrait then just photographing the person alone. www.dareuc.net
Roman holiday August. With the temperature and humidity rising at unsustainable levels, the only chance of survival for people living in Rome, far from exotic destinations, is to grab a few square meters either on the rare beaches accessible without paying on the nearby coast or the brand-new city beach carved out of the Tiber's mud. From Ostia to Anzio, the ritual repeats: umbrellas, deckchairs, towels everywhere; people drying themselves…
Release by Setanta Books of the book by Frederik Axling. He presents it like this: For more than 10 years I devoted all my spare time to making electronic music but about three years ago something happened. I got tired. I stayed home from work and sold my whole studio. To get back on track I bought a camera and started walking around the city taking pictures. And since then…

Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Cogitations. The slippery slope of the descent into hell of Photography and those who serve it becomes a soapy slide on a direct highway to limbo. As always, in all the many misfortunes of photography that have followed one another for twenty years, the executioners, the protagonists, sell us traps covered in good intentions. No one evaluates the scope and consequences of rushing into these paths which,…
Jacques Yvergniaux sent us his series on homeless people in the streets. He presented it as follows. Meeting street people Paris, April 2018. I am walking quietly in a street near Montparnasse station, when I pass in front of a man, a woman and a little girl, all three sitting on a cardboard box and under a blanket, on the ground. The woman is sleeping. I approach and try to…

I have great admiration for Diane Dufour. With LE BAL, successfully transforming Chez Isis, a prostitute bar and a brothel that became a ruined betting place into one of the most important places in world photography is always a constant delight. And yet, her programming is always demanding. Currently, she presents: Yasuhiro Ishimoto. We dedicate this day to him. Jean-Jacques Naudet Yasuhiro Ishimoto, a destiny between two countries -…
