Fine Art: Honorable Mention 2021 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Like most of the alpine lakes, Lake Bourget is surrounded by mountains, causing strong contrasts when the sun is hidden by the mountains and strong light is still present. Marked contrasts make it possible to combine opposites and highlight what is different, even paradoxical, while working on nuances that allow these oppositions to be combined to create harmonies. Differences, paradoxes and analogies are for me the very essence of our life.
AUTHOR
After working as a professional photographer, working for large companies and travelling around the world living exclusively from photography for many years, In 2015, I decided to change my professional orientation by completely abandoning the profession of photographer. Since then, I have not made any illustration photographs, but I am doing research to get closer to artistic photography.
Today, by having a professional orientation that is not based on photography, I realize my passion by no longer having to endure the pressure of orders and the fact of doing a job that pleases my sponsors without being satisfied.
I haven’t lost sight of becoming a professional photographer again, but I try to work only by producing my photographs as I see fit and then try to sell them, but I no longer wait for an order to get my camera out. I became my own sponsor.
