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…

We entrusted it to Alain-René Hardy, expert in Art Deco, who over the years has become the holder of a very important collection of books, brochures and periodicals illustrated by nude photography, an international reference recognized today by the specialists. I renounce, ‒ momentarily, the very extensive and perilous presentation on female…
Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle More than half a century ago, a very famous French weekly made its reputation on a profession of faith imagined by the unforgettable Roger Thérond. This motto has become commonplace: “the weight of words, the shock of pictures”. In the context of that time, this balance between the words of knowledge, reflection, and imagination was particularly well-balanced by the impact of descriptive, immersive and emotional images.…

First, there was the striking image of a woman strapped to her wheelchair staring on the television set into the face of the actress she had been. What happened to Baby Jane?, a poker move for Joan Crawford, that proved to be the end of her career. Since then, the image has continued to crystallize around these ultimate vibrations, when it has not purely and simply disappeared from memory. For…

Galerie Fons Welters: Berend Strik (The Netherlands, 1960) (images 66-68) In his work, Berend Strik (1960, Nijmegen) questions the meaning of images. Strik subjects his photographs to an intensive process of reworking with fabric and thread. The sewn photographs slow down our gaze and thus emphasise the image and its content. By partially covering his images, the artist constantly exposes different layers (of meaning). Strik himself says: "It's like forcing…
