Biography

The photographer usually seeks to crystallize the representation of the subject at a given moment. Photodynamics disrupts codes! The movement imprinted on the camera during the shooting makes it possible to exploit the luminosity of the form and to create an infinity of superimposed images, nested one inside the other, images that our eye is able to analyze to recompose what movement that gives life to the image. It is a kind of homecoming since photography, from the Greek roots "photos" and "graphein" literally means "to paint with light". 



To catch the eye, a structuring element of the image must remain identifiable. Everyone can then freely, according to their imagination, build their own vision of the image. With movement, the subject fades before color, transparency replaces appearance, the real and the unreal merge. It is no longer a question of showing or demonstrating through the image but above all of obtaining that it incites to dream.
