Biography
Born in Saint-Etienne (Loire) in 1956, Louis Blanc has been living in the Toulouse region for fifteen years. After two photographic experiments (a brief one with Minolta silver reflex in the 80s and a longer one with a compact digital camera during 2000). In 2010, he realized that he didn't have much equipment, therefore he bought a (Canon EOS 550D) digital reflex and this is when he discovered photography!
Self-taught, he learned taking photos and post-treatment techniques, nevertheless he didn't hesitate to submit his work to criticism... this was always constructive.
His interest in photo quickly turned into a passion and by a mere coincidence these interests somehow became a reality: first approach being: architecture (to put it broadly) religious and historic buildings, urban landscapes. Second approach: work on the body image and body language. The Corpus series presented here is part of his second approach.
After several exhibitions in various bars and restaurants of Toulouse, Louis Blanc won the "Body Language" competition, organized by the magazine Réponses Photo and the Festival Européen de la Photo de Nu d'Arle, the first prize of this contest was a great exhibition, held at the Palais de l'Archevêché d'Arles, where the artist exhibited twelve photographs, in a large format from the Corpus series (2012).
