If we got used to seeing homeless people in big cities, we don't see them anymore. Glued to the sidewalks, they are part of the urban landscape. I wanted to look at them, not by making portraits of them, because several photographers have already done a remarkable job on this subject, but on the images that are offered to us and that we no longer see. They are therefore people who live on the street and the marks they leave on sidewalks or under makeshift shelters.
My photos were taken in Paris, France.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
Short biography
I am a photographer and author born in 1960 in Paris, France. My father, photographer and printer, passed on to him the passion and culture of images very early on. I nevertheless turned towards the profession of economist while cultivating a passion for 19th century travel photography, mainly in Japan and Egypt. I thus signed two art books on this subject, mixing period photos and travel stories.
In 2021, I decided to devote himself fully to photography, which he sees as an extension of his training in social sciences. I always seeks to understand how human societies function.
Awards and prize I have won
In 2022, I won the prize for the series “Homeless in Paris”, in the PX3 competition, Paris Photo Prize, and I was exhibited at Espace Beaurepaire, in October 2022. In April 2023, I obtained an honorable mention for the series “ Landscape”, in the FAPA competition, Fine Art Photography Awards. In August 2023, I won two awards for the series “Garbage in Paris
