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.

Quatre Instants de Nudité / Four Moments of Nudity I have been taking photos with models, mainly female, for a very long time. Why only photos of women? Surely because women are a great source of inspiration for me. Certainly also, for this book, I wanted to idealize everything that makes their differences, their beauty, their sweetness, their emotions, their power of seduction. I also appreciate this exchange, this trust, even this complicity…

Ehsaei set out to the Hormozgan Province in the Persian Gulf to shed some light on this part of Iran, which…

The Bildhalle gallery in Zurich presents until November 16 an exhibition by Anna Cabrera and Angel Albarrán entitled: Between The Real And The Unreal. “At first we photographed with the simple intention of recording what we saw.

This is the most impactful email we have received this week. These photos accompanied it. Forgiving is a return to traumatic memories and experience that I endured in my first romantic relationship more than a decade ago. Unprocessed, my trauma manifested in PTSD along with guilt and self-blame. By digitally manipulating images, I reshape and rework my archival materials to undo the simplified reality those photographs represent. And through the…
Do not send your pictures anymore. The holidays are ending. It was again a great pleasure to publish them this summer. The characteristics of this year?

He was a pioneer of modern photography, an art critic, a researcher and historian of Venezuelan art, a friend to many of the great artists and architects of the twentieth century. Despite the important role Boulton played, he is shockingly underrecognized outside of his home country. To…

“What happens every day and recurs every day, the banal, the everyday, the obvious, the common, the ordinary, the infra-ordinary, the background noise, the usual, how do we account for it, how do we question it, how do we describe it?” – Georges Perec “When you grow up facing the sea, the feeling of the ocean never leaves you. What struck me most when I settled on the Basque Coast…
