Nature: Honorable Mention 2021 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
“Flower Portraits” is a photographic project exploring my own existence and my relationship to the present moment. The flower portraits are self-portraits, in search for the self by focusing one's consciousness on the present moment. Search within yourself by accepting your feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations. I like to be aware of what's around me and recognise me in the small floral details caught in the light, to translate somehow my feelings at that time.

AUTHOR
Hi, I am Stéphane. My photographic approach is above all based on feelings. I am drawn to moments, details that express my current state of mind. Every detail of light, shapes, composition and texture has its importance in my images. B&W allows me to get to the essentials by removing the superfluous, thus creating a form of mirror reflecting my feelings and my relationship to others, to nature, to myself. I need to feel the photography, to immerse myself in it, to lose myself in it, to feel myself encompassed by it until I approach abstraction to invite the observer to question his relationship to oneself and to the world.
