"It is an illusion that photos are taken with a camera... they are taken with the eye, the heart and the head."
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Frank Schasse is an architect and has been involved in photography since his student days. Both disciplines stem from the same quest: the attempt to give form to space, light and perception in a way that goes beyond the purely visible.
For him, photography is far more than the capture of a moment. It is an act of seeing – and, at the same time, of realisation. It is only through conscious observation that the world begins to transform. What is seen detaches itself from its mere reality and becomes a new image in which memory, mood, emotion and imagination merge. This gives rise to a reality of its own, which allows us to glimpse not so much the object itself as its very essence.
