nudes, photography

His artistic work is focusing mainly on Woman.

The first nudes, when he was 16,
were already based on the same technic:
one LIGHT, one LENS.

As years were passing, his control of light let him free
to restore Woman's Mystery.

Wether she is from Oceania, Africa or Caribbean,
The Woman he is wraping with light remains
an IDEAL.



Materiel : Nikon F2 - Lens 105 m/m

All photographies are realised on the same basic principe :
One light (electronic or tungsten), acting as the sun.
This is the incidence of light that will shape the body.

The choice of models is guided by the grain of the skin,
and their ability to reflect or absorb the light.

"The Image, my image
is not a mirror, not a reflect

It is only the prolongation of my view
the expression of my emotion

It is the beginning of your dream
The perfume of your phantasm

This is not looking for your look,
only your imagination."

Jean Vallette
