This is the most unusual text received this week. It is by Daniel Dytrych, the author of these photos! Does anything else release stress and problems in life more than an outdoor swim in the warm sun? My partner embraced an empty pool in Lanzarote. We have been together for ten years and I have never seen her enjoy being underwater, ever! I guess we learn something new about our…

Among a few invitations by e-mail to traditional vernissages, an image immediately caught my attention on the invite of the Fontaine Obscure. What an interesting photograph, it jumps out at you, intoxicates your mind without knowing why. Well almost, because after the first feeling and emotion, the inquisitive eye will look for other images of the series which it dissects and analyzes. It is this curiosity, a little useless; but,…
An appreciation of Helga Paris’s photography reached a wider audience than ever before with a 2019 major retrospective in Berlin, the city where she lived and worked. An exhibition at Kicken Berlin at the end of the following year confirmed the realization that Helga Paris’s work was of considerable and intrinsic interest. Now, two books of her portrait photography in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) make clear that the enduring…
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…

Some labels outlive their usefulness and anyone now calling themselves a war photographer should arouse more suspicion than applause. We certainly don’t need professional photographers to remind us that war is about killing people, its violence obscene, and Tim Hetherington – who did not like having the label ‘war photographer’ attached to his work – thought and felt this. It is something that makes his death, at the age of…
For me, there is always the work being presented but also there is the presentation. Last week the Getty Center made me smile with the freshness of their presentation, the way they made their exhibition an invitation to see more than the art on the walls. First Came a Friendship: Sidney B. Felsen and the Artists at Gemini G.E.L., on view now at the Getty Center brings previously unseen work to…
This new exhibition that the Little Big Galerie is devoting to Estelle Lagarde constitutes a trilogy. Trilogy born from the photographer's desire to confront her approach, her narrative and emotional ambition, no longer at the heart of the building, the constructions of human architecture, but this time towards the outside, nature, the landscape, the elements that sculpt and cross them. And always at the center, the child. The link that…

Kyriakos Kaziras is not only a photographer, but also an artist, a magician capturing the beauty of the world through his lens. With Greek roots and steeped in French culture, he embodies the harmonious fusion of these two worlds. His passion for visual art was born in the very cradle of civilisation, awakened by the stories of his grandfathers, benevolent guides to the world of creativity. From the very beginning,…
There are photographers specialising in reportage - a snapshot here & there, their passage is just a sigh. There are those who swear by the documentary approach - they follow a subject for several months or even years. But Danny Willems' work defies all comparison. He has photographed the Belgian artist Arno for 50 years - the photographer became a friend, a collaborator, an advisor. In the words of Stephan…
No less than three cultural places in the city of the three towers, La Rochelle, have joined forces to receive the photographer's numerous images: Carré Amelot, La Sirène, the city's current music hall as well as the FEMA, international film festival.

In 1937, a new magazine was launched in the UK. Though small in size, fitting into a pocket, it would have a tremendous impact. Lilliput, founded by European Hungarian émigré Stefan Lorant (1901- 1997), was the first British magazine to publish an impressive roster of international photographers, including Erwin Blumenfeld, Herbert Matter, Willy Ronis, Brassaï, Pierre Jahan and Ergy Landau. It published a series of now-famous reportage by Bill Brandt,…

Forms My photographic work is part of a continuous and unprecedented exploration of urban spaces. I am interested in shapes, textures and colors that combine to create my subject. I look for the games created by light and shadows. In my work, my main goal is to offer a fresh look at ordinary things by creating refined and graphic images. I seek the particular point of view, attempting to eliminate…
