Colored roads (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Through my photographic reportage "Colored roads" done in the Camargue - South of the France, aboard an ULM, I wanted to show, in another way, the varieties of these linear, rounded and crossed roads, as a view of a straight stretch of sea, with its bright and powerful colors, obtained, for few of them, thanks to the proliferation of a red seaweed: the Dunaliella salina and a small crustacean that nourishes it, the Artemia salina.
In order to give birth to these unusual landscapes, to their breathtaking colors, many parameters are necessary. The magic of the Biology, the Time and the Nature have here, for my work, a common goal: Art.
My photographs could be closed to an abstract configuration of bands of colors, of unequal widths, seen from the air.
This landscape series is for me, like a parenthesis, which is good for our eyes, our imagination and our soul.
I hope the colors, the details and the atmosphere will be able to catch the attention of the spectator, their emotion, while provoking a retinal and beneficial emotion, wherever my photographs will be visible.
"Colored roads" is my first aerial photographic.
AUTHOR
Artist painter and self-taught photographer.
My ambitions are:
- To reveal the world from another perspective: the aerial view, pushing the boundaries between photography and painting to offer a truly unique perspective. With aerial photography, she adds an extra dimension, a degree of confusion which offers incredible views, the "wow factor".
- To be witness of her time, to take reality by surprise, to anticipate events with news pictures, to inform the public and to raise awareness, with ethics.
