Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Cogitations At exhibition openings, debates, or conferences, this question comes up very often: “What criteria do you use to classify a photograph when you say or write that it is correct, good, or beautiful?” First and foremost, it’s important to understand that a classification is by no means a judgment; it is an assessment that is as objective as possible based on factual observations. The criteria are…
éditions lamaindonne presents KODO by Martin Bogren. He writes: “I went back to Japan to photograph something close to me, without knowing exactly what. I was looking for a stillness that seems impossible to find in a megacity. I told myself that if I could find it in Tokyo, then maybe I could find it in myself too. That's when I discovered the Kodo, a trail winding through forests and…
Never forget! 25 years later, the photos, the memories, the emotions are everywhere in the press and social media. We chose to take a different perspective with this photograph of Jean-Pierre Laffont taken in 1975. Looking at the powerful majesty of the Towers, it is still hard to believe what happened, let alone accept it. Jean-Pierre writes: I was not in New York on September 11th. We were in Paris…

Warmi (Woman) Argentine writer Héctor Tizón, described the feeling of being in the Andean Altiplano rather effectively: “Here the earth is hard and sterile, and the sky is closer than anywhere else. In this land, where it is hard to breathe, people depend on many gods”. Most of all, the Andean community relies on women (warmi, in Quechua) and worship Pachamama, supreme goddess and universal Earth Mother. A woman, life itself,…

Behind the statistics of poverty in France nine million people affected, two million in extreme deprivation, and more than 300,000 living on the street lies a human reality too often obscured by habit and indifference. To counter this visual silence, it is vital to awaken consciences and restore dignity to these overlooked faces. In founding the Prix Photo Sociale, the ambition was clear: to make photography a bridge toward solidarity…

FIFTY ONE TOO presents There Is No Pink, a collective exhibition. Every work in this exhibition contains pink. None of them contains pink. Pink has no wavelength. It exists nowhere in the visible spectrum. Unlike red, green or violet, there is no single frequency of light that the eye perceives as pink. It is a colour the brain invents. When red and blue-violet light reach the eye together, with little…
