It was just about cold and silence…
Unexpected white
For many people, snow is quite common during winter. For some, it’s rare enough to become the main topic of conversation when it happens, and a few centimeters of snow can even block all human activities (so that our Canadian friends can laugh about us !). It’s what happened two days ago on the French […]
Nearby…
Most of the time, I tend to consider differently images that I’m taking to keep a trace of something personal (family events, friends, kids), the ones that are just for the love of carrying kilos on my shoulder (walks, week-end or everyday’s life) and the ones I’m taking on purpose (portraits, still life, landscapes..). I […]
5mn to kill
Arrived a few minutes too early to my rendez-vous, I walked along the old remparts of Antibes. As always, I had a camera with me, this time only with a 35mm. I didn’t expected to see waves as there was no wind… Camera on the stones, 64iso to get a long exposure, -2/3ev to keep […]
Dark ice
New England winter can be a real experience…and taking pictures at night by -22celsius is certainly something to be considered seriously…Multiple clothes layers, multiple batteries, a long preparation for a few hours of silent joy… With a friend, we were two shadows silently capturing Boston lights distorted by the frozen waves of the Charles river… […]
The square, the ramp and the tower.
This weekend I have seen my oldest friend who used to work in cinema and has facilitated writing workshops. His latest project was to select images from a friend photographer (according to a certain theme), and to write corresponding text as if the whole exhibition was the storyboard of an unknown movie. I’m wondering what […]
Feeling small
There’s something special about being alone in front of a breathtaking scenery, it’s like having a rare privilege. Waking up before everyone, walking in the dark, waiting for the sun to rise slowly, hear no other sound than waves and birds … Maybe my camera was just an excuse to stand in front of the […]
Scale and Depth
On our way to Yellowstone two years ago, we had the chance to discover Glacier National Park. While the landscapes were not as unique as some other US Parks, it was still breathtaking to be there. It’s one of these places that push you to use a medium or large format cameras, just because it […]
Discovery
It requires talent, when arriving in a new place, to immediately take pictures capturing the essence of the site. Unfortunately, for me it’s a process that usually takes time and multiple trials… But later on, when looking back to these “first” images, some may still have a soul, keeping trace of the photographer’s initial and […]
