Highway 40 Quebec-Montreal Here are 15 photos from a series of 32 "chronicling" a trip from Quebec City to Montreal on Highway 40 at sunset. I took advantage of the fact that I wasn't the driver to photograph the landscape along the highway, using relatively slow exposure times to obtain deliberate abstractions. The effect varies according to the nature, variety and distance of the vegetation that borders it, but also…

Masks Having discovered Venice outside of the carnival festivities, I toured the workshops and boutiques of the artisans, the real ones who make things made in Venice. Whether they are made of leather, wood, plaster, papier-mâché, painted, decorated with stones, jewels or feathers, they are true works of art. A long time ago the main function of the mask was to preserve anonymity, allowing its owner to play a role…
Paths My paths are a starting point. They are a collection of the fascination I feel when I discover them... Paths hide a thousand possibilities; they can open up a new path or close another. Paths get lost or they find each other again. There are those who no longer offer a way out, those who are a birth, those who destroy themselves, and those who discover a new heaven.…

Mercurial Alchemists believe in the ultimate unity of matter and spirit; the direct correlation that exists between the tangible physical world (the Body) and the immaterial realm of consciousness (the Soul). To them, the human Mind is the special place in the cosmos that stands in between the two, and is thus able to conceive them not as separate, but rather as parallels on different dimensions. As Above, So Below:…

Christian Caujolle and Cambodian photography relationship is about commitment. From 1997, when he created his first studio in Phnom Penh where photography, laminated like other forms of artistic expression, had disappeared during the Khmer Rouge terror, until today when he continues to animate the Photo Phnom Penh festival, Christian Caujolle considers his intervention in Cambodia as an engagement. In a country where there is no fixed image training, the festival…

For this fifteenth title in the Des oiseaux (On Birds) collection, the fashion photographer and portraitist Paolo Roversi invites falconry birds to freely take over his studio and produces an intriguing series where owls, hawks and falcons appear shrouded in saturated lights on large format Polaroids. . The minimalist approach to portraiture and the monochrome tones, which are the signature of the Italian photographer, allow these birds of prey to be…
Jacques Revon has been a photographer for a long time. We have published his work numerous times, and recently he opened The Silver Eye, presenting his photographs shot with long expired films he received from his father (for information, Jacques is 75 years young).

"On Halloween, the antipathy to being photographed is rarely an issue. But the exhibitionist spirit of the holiday creates its own challenges. People love to preen for the camera in their costumes. While many of my subjects wore real masks, I aimed to capture the essence of their personae." – Seymour Licht For millennia, cultures around the world recognize and celebrate the short window between the end of October and…
On his website, fashion photographer Dean Isidro confesses, “When I was young, my mom went to cosmetology school. After graduating, she set up a chair and opened a little salon in our home near Santa Cruz. The idea of beauty, and the project of making people look pretty—as women were coming and going, in curlers and perms and blowouts—was a way of life as I was growing up.” An apt…

Above all, meet. Go beyond the surface. Find the essentials. Returning to Chile after…
Few things are truly timeless. Martinis, The Beatles, bespoke tweed…and, of course, Gary Cooper. Perhaps the nonpareil of Golden Age Hollywood’s gentlemen, Gary Cooper was a beloved icon of manliness and style in his prime—and has aged like fine wine. He is the definition of classic, his style reminiscent of a simpler time in life and fashion. These intimate family scrapbook photos from his personal collection, curated by his daughter,…
This month, at his request, Philippe Lutz is writing Alain Hardy's column dedicated to the history of nude photography books! The most notable exhibition in Alsace before the First World War was undoubtedly that organized in 1906 by the Photographischer Klub Strassburg. In a prestigious location the salons of Château Rohan –, 600 prints, an inauguration with great fanfare, an illustrated catalog, excellent media coverage: everything contributed to making it…
A lovely idea: The works of the “Poursuites et Ricochets” collection published by éditions lamaindonne, directed by Guillaume Geneste (printer at La Chambre Noire, in Paris) and David Fourré (editor of éditions lamaindonne), combine family photographs and literary texts. Each author is invited to select a dozen family photos and write a short text on each of these photographs. The idea here is to question our relationship to this very…
Sébastien Valiela: Determined. Passionate about photography from an early age, Sébastien Valiela is now one of the world's most renowned paparazzi.

He has earned his reputation, and while he has made his passion his profession, he also shamelessly admits that he never stopped…
