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…

I have to feel a physical connection with the…

Triptych, part 02 by Thierry Maindrault The photographic confession remains this rare and perilous exercise, reserved only to a few photographers of great talent, under penalty of calamitous mediocrity. Hard to identify, in the moving masses of our world, that something special which is almost invisible to all - in order to extract the "very substance". Then, to offer it for general reflection (at least for those still capable of…

Triptych, part 01 by Thierry Maindrault I met Saro di Bartolo, quite by chance, he was presenting a good number of photographs as part of SiFest 2017.

HS Liu or Swimming in a sea of red (with his camera above the water) Thirty-four years after the crushing of Tiananmen pro-democracy movement (June) and the fall of the Berlin Wall (November), who still remembers the wide-eyed hopes and the disheartening disillusionment the two events of 1989 released for a better, more peaceful, united world? One unique photographer’s camera happened to be linked to both events. The way to…

The years of lead Photographer Marcelo Montecino recorded bullet marks in the walls of the palace, while the military monitored the ruins and the frozen faces of passers-by. “Obra abierta” (Open work) by Hernán Parada goes beyond the two-dimensionality of the image to directly embody it. After the detention and disappearance of his brother in 1974, he performed a series of performances with the mask of his brother's face. The…
Straighten your head Photographer Claudio Pérez immersed himself in the search for portraits of the missing who had no representation.
