Description
"Nothing predestined me to immerse myself with such intensity and sensitivity in this world of dance. My first passion is rather the world of music and opera.
The first contact was made in the early 2000s, through an order from L'Express. Three days of reporting on the preparation of a ballet at the Paris Opera.
I came away conquered by the atmosphere, by the work atmosphere, but also struck by so much beauty and delicacy that are offered to my lens."
A long-term work of almost two years behind the scenes of the Opera which will give rise to a book “Un pas vers les étoiles. Gérard Uféras then worked for months at the Bolshoi and at La Scala and constantly returns to the subject.
Photograph published in 30 copies including 8 EA (AP) (Please contact us for prices).

Presentation
Thanks to his father, he discovered the world of photography. The latter collected cameras, encouraging young Gérard Uféras to use them at the age of 8. At the age of 12, the youngster began visiting all the Parisian museums and developed his artistic knowledge while taming his eyes.
However, the photographer turned towards a career in trade, and moved away from the artistic world. His passion didn't fade away, and at the age of 28 he decided to completely devote himself to his reflexes.
For his themes and series, Gérard Uféras draws inspiration from the artistic world, but also from fashion and sports. Disciplines where the protagonists are influenced by their profession, according to the artist.
In 1984, he began a collaboration with the newspaper, Libération and did photo-reporting and portraits for them. Those days, he was firmly settled in communication and advertising, and this brought along his first exhibitions.
A major admirer of Cartier-Bresson, Kertész and Koudelka, he falls in with them and is one of the co-founders of the VU agency. His friendship with Willy Ronis continues to nourish his inspiration and art. An intimate and graceful photographer, Gérard Uféras didn't want to live glamorously and keeps a low profile.
His work has been exhibited around the world and he benefited from the major retrospective at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, in 2009.
