A style
André Carrara likes to say that he came to photography and especially to fashion photography for the sake of women, and it is true that for more than 40 years he never stopped celebrating La Femme. He declaimed his ode over the pages of Vogue, Elle, Marie-Claire, Marie-Claire, Glamor, Mademoiselle, Madame Figaro, of which he was one of the closest collaborators.
The man is discreet and humble. Yet his photographs have been circulating around the world, distributed to thousands of copies in leading fashion magazines in France and abroad.
Sometimes in black and white, sometimes in color, in all corners of the world, in all latitudes, André Carrara builds his subjects in love with the 7th art. The cinematographic references are numerous. Like Rosselini, Bergman or Bunuel who in Stromboli, Personna, Belle de Jour … have magnified their muses, and to which he pays homage in beautiful shots directly inspired by scenes from these films, André Carrara delivers beautiful portraits of women , he invents a story that unfolds in each of his reports, looks for a setting, sets a climate, chooses his wife, his heroine, designs his staging. The unity must be perfect, it is essential to make the atmosphere fleeting for a moment, the miracle of a unique light.
