Panoramic nominee

This series of photographs is about the tension between man and nature in an industrial landscape.
The Port of Rouen on the river Seine is Europe's number one port for grain export. And yet, on that July Sunday afternoon, it looked deserted, a playground for bold weeds overgrowing the slopes along the connecting roads or the backyards of warehouses. It looked as if man, after building these huge constructions, had left the place and this—momentary— desertion brought out a strangely beautiful landscape, designed by man and yet from which he had slipped away.

After practising photography as a hobby since my teenage years, I bought a digital camera ten years ago and set out on new ground, with a different approach. The works of such photographers as Stephen Shore, Lewis Baltz, Alexander Gronsky, Eugène Atget, Raymond Depardon, Philippe Bazin or Thibault Cuisset have deeply inspired and stimulated me over the past years.
My own work has developed around several topics : urban landscape, rural landscape, industrial architecture, but also all the small things that are around us and which we tend to ignore as they seem trivial, outdated or discarded.
In November 2020 I published my first book, “Small shops” .
