Yet another attempt to keep myself organised in public

Close-up

Look at my skin !

Photographic work is for me rather the result of the encounter between what i pictured and what i saw … yet the camera is a key element to this dialogue but its also a rather trivial since i don’t publish raw footage and select the pictures i feature on my folio. This series aims to portrait people with very close footage from their face. My Olympus camera is a “shitty” piece of hardware and don’t focus well at short distance. The resulting pictures are thus very raw looking but have yet a fleshy and intimist look that is not the result of any “tool mastering” but rather an evidence to comfort my photographic practice in the way i orient it. Towards people and not machine; towards the subject rather than towards the viewer, the audience!
