For Guillaume Rivière, everything flows, as his name suggests. He is at once a landscape photographer and a portrait artist of the human condition in the most remote corners of the planet. The spiritual son of Raymond Depardon, with whom he shares a passion for medium format and color, Rivière started out professionally in 2000 with portraits of French farmers. Since then, Rivière has toured the world, capturing it with his incisive gaze.
The Mojave desert is far from the misty mornings of the French valleys, but Rivière’s singular style makes his photographs immediately identifiable. With his controlled mastery of overexposure, Rivière turns each of his images into a magical window onto the world.
