Maxime Franch

Maxime Franch is student in Photography and fascinated by this art for years ; he started in 2012 and indeed, it is thanks to the acquisition of his first Reflex that the pleasure of photography appeared to him.

It is during an atypical meeting that his inspiration appeared : during a school outing, he saw a man on the groung in a commercial street, and he eyes stopped on him. He observed him during about ten minutes, before deciding to talk to him. He first offered him something to eat and as the language barrier was forbidding them to communicate in better conditions they started a dialogue made by intonation and gestures. During that “dialogue” he asked him if he could take a picture of him and he agreed immediately.

this is when his vision of photography changed, about what it could carry out and especially on these left behind that nobody sees… This is the way he series on the Homeless persons started, with this man, which up to now remains my most beautiful photographic meeting.
