Cédric Brion Studio Clavicule Pics

Biography:

My name is Cédric Brion.

I was born in 1978 in Belgium, in the suburbs of Mons, where I currently live.

As I have always been interested in the plastic arts, I started to develop my taste for photography at the age of 18. My first tool was a silver camera, which I developed in the darkness of my room.

After several years of research and experience, I was able to approach the world of professional photography, thanks to various competitions and work done for the business world...  

Motivation and vision:

My fascination with creating portraits in a dark, even noir, atmosphere comes from my early child-hood, because since I was a child I have always been fascinated by fantastic and dark worlds, I try to create portraits that transport the viewer into another universe. I like to see my portraits as windows to imaginary worlds.  

From the darkness of the soul, a clarity can emerge that overwhelms me. Light that is too bright often dazzles, darkness magnifies it.  

I like to capture these contrasts in my portraits, and ancient civilizations have always been one of my sources of inspiration.  I want my portraits to appeal to people, so that they can see themselves in them and recognize themselves.

Inspirations:

David Lachapelle, H.R Giger, Max Rive,

Ansel Adams, Yann Arthus Bertrand, Michel Lagarde,

Antonio Gaudencio, Delphine Cencig.
