Losing the North Diptychs I was born in northern France, where I lived from childhood until I was 19, in a small working-class town between slag heaps and glassworks. Sixteen years later, when my daughter was born, I returned with my camera to capture the faces of those who had never really known me as I was. My country, my family, our otherness. I look at them today with tenderness,…

Our beautiful Camargue, a treasure on borrowed time? (Here is an overview of my work with 15 photographs. Full report 60 photographs). "How beautiful is my Camargue". I've said this phrase so many times since my earliest childhood. As a native of the magnificent Gard department, my parents introduced me to it at a very early age. This land of the Petite Camargue is very dear to my heart... I…
Shipyards For a long time, I thought about how I could tackle this subject, which was close to my heart, but which I found so difficult to tackle in a rational and, if possible, original photographic study. In memory of all those thousands of workers involved in shipbuilding for several generations, who had lost their tools of the trade, with the direct consequence of losing their jobs to shipyard workers…

Denier Being a woman is what distinguishes a woman, in every time and place. Her womanhood, her empathic beauty, not synonymous with perfection but beauty as a unicum, a harmony with the world that comes from an inner balance and is reflected in her aesthetic side. In this photographic series of mine entitled "Denier", a metaphor for the heaviness of the stocking -a veil that nevertheless does not suffocate but…
With whom Arthur Elgort has not worked with, might be easier to answer than with whom he actually has, because the gifted photographer probably has shot for all renowned magazines. He has created portraits of famous models and fashion icons which stand out through their unconventional and refreshing style. Those portrayed—such as Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, or Christy Turlington—appear carefree and at ease. One can tell that Arthur Elgort brings…
For his second exhibition at the in camera gallery, the Catalan photographer Txema Salvans guides us, as usual, through a candid journey far from any artifice.

I have to feel a physical connection with the…

Inspired by the magic of our relationship, during the summer of 1972, we decided to recreate our passions and pleasures on our family property in the South of France and at the beach in Saint Tropez, with the help of Nic and Caroline as our alter egos.

Archives - September 30, 2014 Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (1883-1971) is a fashion icon unlike any other. She invented modern clothing for women: At the height of the Belle Époque, she stripped women of their corsets and feathers, bobbed their hair, put them in bathing suits, and sent them out to get tanned in the sun. She introduced slacks, costume jewelry, and the exquisitely comfortable suit. She made the first couture…
Archives - January 17, 2014 For photographer Douglas Kirkland and his wife and business partner Francoise, there are no boundaries between life, love, work, and art.

Forever a star glowing bright in the sky and we watch as it burns, burns everything in its wake until one day, it’ vanishes. Explosions of sorts, and things leading in that direction, and stories and legends and myths. And Marilyn was the greatest star of…
Laurence Laborie : Femininity & Aestheticism. Born in the North of France, nothing predestined Laurence Laborie to become a photographer. She got her cue discovering an instamatic on a bench in a public garden when she was a teenager. This passion for the magic of the image never left her. She nevertheless pursued brilliant engineering studies at first before discovering the world of fashion by becoming a model. But very…
With the exhibition Image Capital, The Fondazione Mast in Bologna highlights a less explored aspect of photography, that of its economic value as an information technology. Used as a vector of information, the photographic image acquires a functional value whose practical uses become unlimited and offer a large potential for capitalization. As a system for creating, archiving, protecting and exchanging visual information, the image represents a resource that can be…
Photos taken without intention or reflection; accidents of the present. Maurice Renoma has chosen to present a selection of previously unseen photographs. These images were not designed to become artistic objects. They are accidents, missed takes that are sometimes the genesis of accomplished works of his career. Maurice Renoma instinctively turns to photography, a medium that allows him to spontaneously express his way of seeing the world, of behaving, of…

Marion Gronier exhibits a series titled We were never meant to survive at the Galerie du Château d'Eau in Toulouse.

TOBE Gallery in Budapest presents the second solo show of Gustavo Blanco-Uribe. Blanco-Uribe's works address the most pressing problems of our day.
