L’été (2010-2012)
Summer, so impatiently awaited ... At last, summer ... My mind filled with my own memories, I traveled the length and breadth of France photographing people on vacation, capturing typical scenes, paying special attention to posture, gesture, and attitudes. Not so much to document my own era, but more to produce painterly, almost timeless images that everyone could relate to. Summer paintings. I make no claim to any particular reference or influence, but rather a technical choice: working in an almost old-fashioned way, in medium format, using film, capturing the moment when each element finds its place in the frame, down to the smallest detail. At a time when these kinds of images are most often the result of staging or digital editing, the challenge of catching instants and the delight that comes with it are an integral part of my approach.
