Highway 40 Quebec-Montreal Here are 15 photos from a series of 32 "chronicling" a trip from Quebec City to Montreal on Highway 40 at sunset. I took advantage of the fact that I wasn't the driver to photograph the landscape along the highway, using relatively slow exposure times to obtain deliberate abstractions. The effect varies according to the nature, variety and distance of the vegetation that borders it, but also…

Masks Having discovered Venice outside of the carnival festivities, I toured the workshops and boutiques of the artisans, the real ones who make things made in Venice. Whether they are made of leather, wood, plaster, papier-mâché, painted, decorated with stones, jewels or feathers, they are true works of art. A long time ago the main function of the mask was to preserve anonymity, allowing its owner to play a role…
Paths My paths are a starting point. They are a collection of the fascination I feel when I discover them... Paths hide a thousand possibilities; they can open up a new path or close another. Paths get lost or they find each other again. There are those who no longer offer a way out, those who are a birth, those who destroy themselves, and those who discover a new heaven.…

Mercurial Alchemists believe in the ultimate unity of matter and spirit; the direct correlation that exists between the tangible physical world (the Body) and the immaterial realm of consciousness (the Soul). To them, the human Mind is the special place in the cosmos that stands in between the two, and is thus able to conceive them not as separate, but rather as parallels on different dimensions. As Above, So Below:…

Christian Caujolle and Cambodian photography relationship is about commitment. From 1997, when he created his first studio in Phnom Penh where photography, laminated like other forms of artistic expression, had disappeared during the Khmer Rouge terror, until today when he continues to animate the Photo Phnom Penh festival, Christian Caujolle considers his intervention in Cambodia as an engagement. In a country where there is no fixed image training, the festival…

“For East 100th Street, the idea was to get these pictures in front of the mayor and city officials to improve the conditions of that community. I felt that by documenting them, it was giving the community a human face and voice.

“Riding on the bus with the Freedom Riders, I became sensitized, and the exposure developed my perception,” said Bruce Davidson. “At that point, I decided to continue to follow the path toward freedom and justice known as the Civil Rights Movement.” Bruce Davidson : The Way Back June 22 through September 16, 2023 Howard Greenberg Gallery 41 East 57th Street New York, NY 10022 www.howardgreenberg.com
“There was nothing overtly dangerous in those Brooklyn Gang photographs,” said Bruce Davidson. “They didn’t have weapons like gangs have today. I really focused on the way they felt. They were depressed. They were poor. I didn’t know quite how poor they were, but they were very poor and dysfunctional. The neighborhood didn’t support them in any way. So, that’s what it’s about. I think that’s what makes it universal.…
A great success this festival or rather these festivals which have just ended. Arles central power is over and has given way to multiple places of creative and inventive power very concerned to stand out from the current direction! Luma, one day we will have to thank loud and clear Maja Hoffmann without whom this revolution could never have existed, the Musée Réattu. Actes Sud, agnès b., Chateau Lacoste ...............!…
I was like them. With these four words, Tom Wood tells us a lot about what binds him to those he has photographed in the streets of Liverpool since the 1970s, for more than thirty years. Trained in painting, he first used photography to reproduce his paintings, then very quickly for livelihood in the service of a wedding photographer. Of the click that made him put away the brushes and…
There is no single female gaze. When women look at women, the gazes are as varied as the personalities of the photographers and their models - anyone visiting Johanna Breede's gallery this summer can see this for themselves. We encounter tender glances and encouraging ones, those that look cautiously behind façades and those that are thrown at a person as if casually catching a glimpse. On the gallery walls in…
The Pavillon Populaire presents the first major exhibition in France of the work of Catalan photographer Antoni Campañà i Bandranas (Arbúcies, 1906 - Sant Cugat del Vallès, 1989) devoted to the Spanish Civil War. Hidden and unpublished for 80 years (until the discovery, four years ago, of his famous "red box", containing 5,000 photographs he took during the three years of the Spanish Civil War), his work shows the complexity…
“I will love you down the streets of the world,” as Marco Pesaresi wrote in his diary. Having lived and explored at length, then he returned so he could make us live on the streets of his place in the world, the one that was more intimate and personal, more exuberant and tender, the one of his native land. Thanks to the donation of the archive by his family to…

Here's a look back at these images, set between sky and land. Etienne Renzo's career path and his approach to photography are both unique. A self-taught and ambivalent photographer, he was not predestined to make a career out of it.…
For several years, the gallery of the Atrium hotel has entrusted the Collectif Optim'Art its wall space. From April 2023 until the end of March 2024, I present, as a curator, an exhibition of portraits seen differently. Most are already known, others less so, but they have never been presented in this way. With the full agreement of the nine authors, I reframed their original works to extract the quintessence…

It all started in 1994, with photographs commissioned by the Express which unknowingly initiated a major work on the French. Over the years, the project has been enriched with photos of…
