About the artwork
Artwork sold in perfect condition
It is by discovering my first photo, taken with a disposable film camera, that the magic worked for the first time.
This photo surpassed my hopes, and this feeling was reinforced by the adults in my entourage, who declared :
"Say, you're good at this!".
I remember that the others, including the guides, were taking pictures of the mountain range, a landscape so vast that I thought to myself:
"That won't look good on a small picture!"
And considering the material used, it was often the case
So I decided to photograph in the forest;
An intimate space between the fir trees and the birch trees
The light that makes the frostbite on the branches sparkle.
I was 7 years old it was in a snow class in the Alps.
Afterwards, during my studies of architecture in particular, I didn't stop making pictures.
From the period when we waited, with excitement, sometimes for a week, to get the contact sheets or prints, to today, when the result seems immediate, several cameras have passed through my hands.
Then it's the ultimate admission that the cell phone also takes pictures, and that it is objectively (pun intended), less cumbersome.
I am talking about results that "seem" immediate because in most cases, "smartphonic" photography needs retouching, framing of light, in short, an extra soul.
