I
always spent time in cities and I stopped living with nature and the pace of life that
this house there are too many ghosts they hide within the cracks and always seem to know
that I am the one who keeps them and that I shall be the one to release them the ghost of a child
for the laughter the ghost of lost love forever after the battlefield is silent now it's evening
and I will soon believe the day I moved out of the cities in order to change my life
I naturally used more and more wet plate collodion to photograph a simpler life
I felt that it it just fits it it fits with a certain pace of life its flaws and randomness
illustrate perfectly an uneven calm and lyrical environment I wonder this field with the shovel
taking home and bearing you my lover our house is still now but bleeding and I will not yet
believe I'm quite an hyperactive person and I need to do a lot of things so this way of life
of waking up early cycling playing with the cats gardening spending time in nature fishing or looking
for my next place to shoot photographs is a good balance for me I realize I need that less TV more
time in the lab it's a little bit like cooking you learn some old recipes and then you mix everything
take the best ingredients and you add your little own spice or modern add to it and you get a nice
meal and the more you do it the better you get at it just like cooking photography was not as
common in the 19th century or even in the 20th century people had only a few photos documenting
their lives and they were just carrying them around in their wallets or in their photo books now we
live with a million of photos in a in a hard drive that no one ever plug in anymore my work with
amber types is a multi-level paradox it's images of dreamers and nature this is nothing new this is
nothing sensational it's just an intimate view of individuals in their solitude both this long
process and the subjects are in opposition to a fast moving and easily bored world it's just a few
glass plates against an endless flow of images
do
It's long poses versus instant photography, organic versus abstract.
And all of that contrasts with the modern era we live in, and it shows us how far we
went and how excessive our lives can be.
I shoot classic romantic images.
What are those classic images of women and nature became sensational and rare?
This process is not an end in itself.
The user takes a stand, it's almost a political stand, by using this process.
It's a recusal of the speed of modern life.
It's not an end in itself, it's a recusal of the speed of modern life.
It's not an end in itself, it's a recusal of the speed of modern life.
