Biography
Charles Weber began taking photographs at a young age, signing with the Gamma Agency in Paris, while studying art history at the University of Geneva. In addition to a career as a photography teacher, he participated in many projects such as the architectural census of the canton of Geneva and the creation of the Focale gallery in Nyon. He also accepted invitations from a number of institutions, including the Fonds pour la Photographie de Genève (Geneva Photography Fund) and the Enquête photographique valaisanne (Valais Photographic Survey). The recipients of several awards, Charles Weber's works have been exhibited in Switzerland and abroad, including Greece, where he has lived since 2007.
"With my personal projects, I always work in series, focusing on a subject, concept or technique. I feel that each new project requires new means: a fresh start, with a new technique, new camera, new format, new film and above all new influences. It's my conviction that we never really walk alone. It's my wish to be reconciled with the world through photography. Often, I feel a kind of tenderness for my subjects, almost like a taste of tears. There's still a bit of humor and derision at times but I want the viewer to feel this deep-felt amazement in my images."

Series: Lightscapes
About the series: Each place has its poetry, its chances, its surprises. My job is to grab them at night, asleep under the moon and wake them up with color. I make them up with colored lights to reveal their character and, by long exposure, I bring them to half a day. Here the places are no longer simply recorded but they are visited physically, invested, interpreted, illuminated. The image is no longer a snapshot, it accumulates time, condenses duration, superimposes moments. We reconnect with the true etymological meaning of the word “photography”. The shots were taken on 120 color negative film with a Mamiya C330 camera.
