Gil Michel

I have always photographed the world in its raw state.

Photography is a story of surprises, encounters, sensations, echoing entries from somewhere else…

Over the past fifteen years, I have gradually decided to concentrate my work on landscapes and portraits.

I photograph atypical, unique places: beaches, suburban areas…

Humans are absent from these landscapes, but have left their mark.

The fullness of buildings responds to the emptiness of men.

The models also lend themselves to exercise.

Raw bodies are at the center of the photographs.

The absence of decor and staging brings the photo back to its subject.

My work is the subject of exhibitions.

I live and work in Dijon.
