ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photo was taken on one of the 18 launching areas (ZL) of the nuclear missiles that equipped the "plateau d'Albion" in France.
Now these areas are reconverted into different activities. The photo shows a conversion to solar panels. I played on the foreground to make a checkerboard in contrast with the second plan where emerges an old watchtower where the guards watched this very secret and guarded place. The sky is dynamic due to the long exposure.

AUTHOR
Jean-Paul Soujol Benedetti minimalist photographer who is inspired by contemporary painting. His work is the result of an aesthetic research on the purity of lines and forms. In his minimalist compositions, the horizon is his guiding line which gives his photographs a notion of infinite space. The sea is a key subject. His latest works are more abstract with a plastician approach.

Jean-Paul Soujol Benedetti chose the square format in line with his compositions.
«This format lends itself perfectly to minimalist photography. It requires rigor but gives great freedom of composition which makes it very creative. It’s very aesthetic and modern geometric shape blends perfectly with my work».
