Photographer Statement
Thanks to his knowledge of the digital workflow, both in the field and in front of the graphic station, he is able to highlight the esthetical aspects of cultural and geographical diversities. His images attest to the educational values of documentary photography.
Rediscovering the nooks and crannies of the world, he uses his lenses to open detailed perspectives on what makes exotic civilizations so singular under western eyes. His images are an invitation to delve into the lifestyles of peoples whose reality is sometimes remote, often ignored…
The resulting hallmarks of his pictures are vivid colour and apparent simplicity. Meanwhile, his greatest pleasure is to lure people into exploring strange lands with his evocative pictures.
Most work is in colour, but he still enjoys the subtlety of black & white that reminds him of his debut in the dark room. Since 2006, he has been travelling with high quality but compact sound recording equipment that allows him to add a new atmospheric dimension to his photographic production.
He loves the art of creating imaginative pictures and is happy to do so regardless of the subject and technical constraints, as his online galleries show.
He achieves this using a range of optical equipment and digital techniques, including full-frame DSLR, wide aperture lenses, depth of field accuracy, long exposure shots, panoramic compositions, high resolution transparency scans, precise RAW conversions, luminance noise control, careful resizing and colour management…
Bonjour!
I came across your photo in National Georgraphic – the land diver of Vinautu – it is very striking!
I am an amateur musician from Canada. I would very much like to use this photo on the cover of my demo album, and would kindly ask your permission to do so.
Thank you.
