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.

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.

In the spring of 1992, I took over the premises of my new studio, at Chemin du Calvaire number 3 in Lausanne. A fully equipped darkroom, where I did not take into account the thousands of hours spent developing films and making prints. It was often at night, I liked the nights in the dark room, isolated from the world to better reveal the emotions in the transparency of the…

And…

Stéphane Plassier: The human being at the center of everything. He defines himself as a "global designer" and conjugates art in a plural form. Alternately art director, fashion designer, visual artist, architect or designer, Stéphane Plassier is above all a lover of shapes, art and materials, but most import, a precursor of the transversal approach. The simplicity of the forms, the work of the color and the humor are the…
Goran Tomašević is a living legend. He has not only survived in conflict zones for 30 years, but he also masters the art of photography, interpreting the world in the most humanistic way, following in the footsteps of Robert Capa and James Nachtwey. This powerful, terrible book conveys a Dantesque vision of our humanity. The current circumstances, this morning in Ukraine, make us believe that this madness will never stop…
For the first exhibition of the season, the gallery presents the exhibition "E blanc" by Patrick Bailly-Maître-Grand. In one of his poems (*), Arthur Rimbaud gave colors to his vowels. The E is white. In a very analogical way, it seemed to me that some of my works possessed together a kind of elementary grammar which neither the theme nor the date of creation could bring together, except for a…
For Agnès Geoffray, the epigraph of the novel The Falls by Joyce Carol Oates was a vision. Words taken from the Journal of Dr. Moses, written at the end of the 19th century, exposing the symptoms of hydropsychism, a sort of Stendhal syndrome of Niagara Falls: "the eyes of the bewitched victim are fixed and dilated", the eye hypnotized by the cataract, the will of the soul crushed, the body…
