AUTHOR
Thibault’s strong scientific background pushed him to develop a fascination for light, how it interacts with materials, bounces off surfaces, as well as for the notion of time, and how it can be integrated and depicted in still images. It is therefore natural that he developed a passion for long exposure techniques and specializes in seascape, landscape and architecture photography.

Most of his work shows a world in black and white. This is not only because he has grown a passion for monochrome and classical photography; It is rather a way for him to dissociate his work from reality and bring up the beauty of an atmosphere, a situation, a way to focus on the essential, on a detail or an abstract vision that most people would dismiss.

In order to step further away from reality and bring the viewer into a new and ethereal world, he also developed approaches that combine exposure times of five to ten minutes long with the precise control and introduction of blur in some of his work, making it both singular and unique.

After capturing a new photograph, he approaches it as raw material, a canvas for his imagination. He uses digital processing techniques just like a painter his brushes in order to make the picture his, by imposing and developing his own style and inner vision. He considers this appropriation and creative process just as important as shooting in itself. It allows emotions to bloom, presence to infuse, and volumes to explode.
