Fade (4)
A minimalist composition for a grey, pale and misty morning (november 5, 2021). This photo is part of an ongoing series. At the moment, I am in a minimalist approach. I like that and most of all, I need it !
I waited a long time on the bridge, in the cold. I wanted to capture a moment with a character who walks alone. To cross the bridge and get out of the fog. Ready to go on new projects or adventures. Towards a new life. This is an interpretation.... But maybe this guy comes from the past ? He doesn't look worried. He walks along, quietly, with hands in pockets...
This photography has been featured on Street Shot International, BNW_Captures, Streetseeing and Silhouest Instagram Pages (novembre 2021). I submitted this photo to the Monochrome Awards 2021 (winners announced in January 2022).

For Laurent, a photo is a mirror or a window, often both.
Born in 1972, Laurent lives in Bordeaux. A self-taught photographer, he is passionate about literature, still and moving images.
After a career in the web world, he put his skills at the service of the community by creating a webradio. After 13 years of listening and giving voice to different audiences, he felt the need to express himself again.
In 2020, at the dawn of his fifties, the pandemic plunged him into a long reflection. He decided to change course and to take a difficult but necessary step to give meaning to his life: to become a professional artist photographer.
Rather solitary, he likes to spend time in the company of friends he has never met (A. Titarenko, D. Arbus, D. Lynch...). With a special affection for Jean Cocteau. Very early on, he followed his advice, «What the public reproaches you for, cultivate it, that’s you».
His work has conquered the public and professionals (press, galleries, contests...)
