“What is photography to you?” By Bernard Plossu

Photography is practiced with all kinds of visions, means, and philosophies. Everyone has their own reasons for doing it and their own way of practicing it, to communicate their impressions, their language, their vibrations if I may say so … a word from my generation.

I wondered what a lot of photographic friends of different generations would answer to the simple question: “What do you think photography is? ”

Suddenly, the exhibition project in Tourcoing has become this possibility and, by mixing the very varied styles and visions, perhaps we will have a larger idea of ​​the why, of the how… These answers becoming sesames of this need that we all have to see and thus to understand and love to share what we say in pictures.

I hope this exhibition will please with its variety of responses.

Since the beginning of the adventure of these exhibitions,

between trips, I realize that there are other photographers that I love and to whom I would very much like to ask this question about photography.

Always the passion for photography

To be continued… ???
