Pictures of live objects or with past lives.\n\nI visualize the piece throughout the process, researching until I arrive at the imagined image, and sometimes, when it is finished, I look at it and think, \" there is something here that I have not done\". It is for those few hours in which everything is produced, for those moments of fusion with something that 's not me, and that in turn is more there, more personal than I can consciously contribute.\n\nI believe in what I create.

The photographic language is the basis on which my work is based, the starting point on which I build my images.

He believes that photography is the best medium for his artistic work because it gives him the most creative freedom. Most of his photographic images are influenced by his love of travel, art and architecture, something that was nurtured throughout his youth and adulthood. His creative process started every time he is drawn to a certain scene, event or object. Almost every image he took involved a building or a structure as the main object or background. This is consistent to his interest in architecture and how humanity interact with their environment, particularly the surrounding structures and buildings. Aesthetics will always be a factor during the first few seconds of selecting an image, followed by other factors, such as the relationships between shadow and light, perspective and structures or angles and environment. A final photograph would eventually emerge from this process as the expression of his creative interpretation of that image with the hope of inspiring the viewing public.

Born in Toulouse in 1975, she did not wait long before borrowing from her mother’s camera this magic of photography, which writes down in a different way the life that we transit. It was certainly there, and later, when she haunted concerts of alternative music, the camera around the neck, or still, as young mother, when her two children imposed themselves on her vision, that she learned what Jock Sturges calls Severine Lenhard’s lesson. This manner to always be there,  in the centre of life, living-photographing, obliterating the objective from her objects’ conscience. The American photographer, especially amazed by her capacity “to squeeze childhood between the pages of her art”, talks about what she teaches us: “Severine Lenhard’s work is thus a lesson about the value of disappearance caused by considerate obsession for her objects. Her pictures find their poetry in the tiniest of all things, the ephemeral details of body and habits, banal miracles.”\n\nFrom the courses in fine arts that she attended tenaciously, to her arrival in 2013 in the team of the Galerie Vevais which she joins at the invitation of J. Sturges, the encounters she had, along the way, with Claudine Doury, Claude Pauquet, David Falco, Jock Sturges, then Frank Horvat, Severine Lenhard lays out a path off the beaten track, knocks on all the doors of hidden secrets. The door of childhood first, behind its clarity, behind its innocence to observe its agitation and depict its disturbance, to hold it back as best as she can; the door of a nature which struggles to disclose its constant agony and whom the photographer interrogates from her militant eye. Frank Horvat, photographer and prominent collector of photos, while asking her a few of her negatives, would say: “certain of your photos are at the same time minimalist and miraculous, and they will help my collection say what I like to make it say.” This is what you can keep in mind about Severine Lenhard. She knocks, enters on tiptoe and behind her, oftentimes, we understand.\n\nFor 5 years, she has started work on the recomposed portrait from old identity photos.\n\n\n","user_id":196550,"name":"Séverine Lenhard","website":"www.severine-lenhard.fr"},{"id":199922,"bio":"I started my career as a visual artist.

I remember my grandmother showing me pictures of when she was young and treasuring them as if they were objects of great value. I grew up wondering what was the magic behind those photos? How people managed to immortalize those moments? My curiosity and eagerness to know made me turn to science in the first place. Exploring and learning have always been a driving force in my life. For that reason I did a PhD in physical chemistry in Barcelona and I worked in different laboratories in both England and France. Contrary to what people may think, research is a field that requires big amounts of creativity. You must be constantly innovating and thinking of new ways to advance in science. However after a while I felt that I needed to express that creativity in another way and decided to dedicate myself to photography. As a photographer I have decided to combine my two fields of expertise specializing myself in scientific photography.  In my personal work I am interested in old processes such as wet plate collodion where I can also exploit my two competences.","user_id":201561,"name":"Meritxell Cortés Francisco","website":"www.meritxellcortesphotography.com"},{"id":202044,"bio":"Sono un avvocato esperto in diritto di autore e delle nuove tecnologie informatiche.\nAppassionato di ritratto fotografico","user_id":201442,"name":"Adriano Izzo","website":"www.adrianoizzo.com"},{"id":201988,"bio":"Tatiana Zubkova\nBorn and lives in Krasnodar. \nStudied at the Kuban State University in the department of art and technical graphics. \nSince 1998, photography became her primary occupation.

The motivation to take a portrait – whether of myself or other people – stems, not only from my fascination with bodies but includes everything that surrounds and interacts with them: colors, light, objects; for that reason, I often use 35 mm lens. Portraiture is my way of confronting social norms and their effects on our mental and physical wellbeing – it´s a method that allows for the expression of struggle, as much as pride and rebellion. For me, the act of taking a portrait is a process of connecting empathetically to the person I photograph.

She enjoyed having the ability to express herself through the art she was creating, so much so that she wanted to capture these moments and share them with the rest of the world, thus developing a passion for photography. This gave Gibbs the inspiration to further her education to higher levels and gain the relevant experience and qualifications to apply herself as a working photographer.\nGibbs specialises in shooting portraits. She is keen to converse with the subjects she wishes to photograph as she feels the need for a connection between subject and photographer. By taking this approach, she feels she can photograph individuals in their most natural and candid form.\n When not shooting portraits, Gibbs is also attracted to shooting landscapes and seascapes. Living on the south coast means she is more than capable of capturing breath taking views along the coast line. With unlimited access, she is fond of walking along the seafront and uses lines to her advantage, making her photographs visually dynamic.\nAs a recent University of Brighton graduate, she also operates on a part-time basis within a small collective of photographers called F/S Event Photography, covering events across the South East.\nBeing enrolled as a full-time student has not only heightened Gibbs’ confidence, but it has given her the opportunity for professional growth with the support and guidance from her tutors and peers. She has also had the chance to work closely with individuals who share similar interests and experiences, enabling her to remain inspired and motivated. Gibbs has been able to develop and maintain connections within the field through various visiting tutors she has engaged with as well as frequent visits to local galleries, exhibitions, and workshops.\nShe is an up and coming, hardworking, dedicated photographer, continuously learning what it takes to make it in the photographic industry.","user_id":202109,"name":"Hollie Gibbs","website":"holliegibbs.myportfolio.com"}]}
