Photography fascinates me because of the ability it gives us to witness a place, a time, a moment. The camera captures an instant and seems to freeze it in time, yet the photograph will never be the same. The interpretation we make of it, the emotions it evokes, our judgment of the image evolve over time.
Like literature, photography provides us with the plot, a base from which we can compose with its elements, giving free rein to our imagination to recompose the frame, the out-of-frame, the story that is written around it. The way each of us receives it, feels the motif, is as powerful as the motif itself, and can be rewritten ad infinitum. I'm interested in your story in many ways, and my 20 years of experience give me the flexibility to bring your project to life.
In spite of the diversity of the projects I realize, I do not change anything in my approach. The human being remains at the heart of my approach and it is always a question of the message to be conveyed and to touch the person who will receive the image. If it works, then it's mission accomplished. The success of a photograph depends on several factors. I know I have good images when I can convey a clear message, the energy and authenticity of the subject.
Basically, there is little difference between the eye of a photographer and that of a painter or filmmaker. Each of these image makers is sensitive to composition, light, mood and the value of the message they wish to convey. My sensitivity to art thus nourishes my practice of photography day after day.
