Philippe Marchand
Man and the Sea (Series)
DESCRIPTION
"The sea is present in everyone's imagination, it means dream and adventure, but also mystery and fear.
What I am trying to develop through the link that unites man with the sea concerns the emotions that the ocean can arouse in each of us, through evocative images. Not the translation of reality. In the manner of the pictorialists whose movement originated at the end of the 19th century and for whom the image must go beyond the reality photographed.
I try to capture the atmosphere of the place, the poetry and the mystery that surrounds it.
The shooting is the first part of a process that also includes a long work in "darkroom" to try to recreate the "Feeling" of the moment".
