ERIC BRUNELLE
Face to face

Dorka is a talented young Hungarian model. This picture is the result of teamwork with an artist who coaches me on lighting techniques. When entering the studio in Budapest, I immediately noticed this portrait, which reminded me of a retouched color picture. I simply asked Dorka to take a series of poses and, most importantly, to make eye contact with the woman in the portrait. The square format is a choice that came later in the retouching process in order to eliminate anything superfluous from the picture.

Eric is a French amateur photographer whose work explores the nude figure through a conceptual lens that goes beyond conventional erotic representation. His practice has gained international recognition through many awards, publications, prints, and six exhibitions.

His artistic development has been shaped by mentors such as Arboulan and Szeni Jung, and more recently by the Hungarian artist Sándor Benkő, who continues to refine his visual language. Central to Eric’s approach are long-term collaborations with models based on dialogue and shared creative input, where both photographer and model actively contribute to the final work.

Working primarily in Germany, Hungary, and Croatia, Eric has developed his ongoing project Venusonearth as an evolving visual inquiry. Conceived as a long-term artistic quest, it explores how fine art nudes emerge through presence, narratives, and a balance between revealing and concealing. .
