Street insights with Olivier DUONG

2 Comments

If you like Street Photography, you probably know Inspired Eye. A few years ago, I interviewed Olivier DUONG, one of the co-founders (with Don SPRINGER). The idea was not to make another interview like I did before but just  to ask to Olivier a couple of questions. I’ve never met Olivier in person but I’m pretty sure that he’s a very talkative man with a lot of stories. I hope that one day we’ll be able to chit chat in front of a beer here or elsewhere.

Fill the Frame by Tim Huynh

2 Comments

A few days ago I was able to view Fill The Frame, a documentary on Street Photography directed by Tim Huynh. I was waiting for this one for a long time. I think that it took longer than expected because of the pandemic. Finally it’s here and I urge you to go to check that on Vimeo if you do like Street Photography and if you are reading this Blogpost on my website, you are likely to love Street Photography. It’s been a while that I wanted to interview Tim as he’s one of the few people I kept in touch with despite the fact that I left Social Media and beacause I really like a lot his street work. He also has a YouTube Channel where you can find some very good content. Come and meet Tim Huynh ! Continue reading Fill the Frame by Tim Huynh →

John Harper revisited

4 Comments

When I first started this Blog in March 2016, I wanted to interview some photographers I really like. I wanted to know more about them, may be just to see that besides the fact that I loved their work, they were just ordinary people like me. I interviewed very interesting people and I kind of gave up on this exercice because I felt like that I was asking everytime the same questions. Lately I wanted to do something different by turning it into some kind of conversation with a friend. I needed my guinea pig and unfornunately for John Harper, he would be the first one. I called this Blog “John Harper revisited” because he already participated to this Blog a few years ago. Like revisiting one’s work, I found it interesting to interview people again a few years after.  Continue reading John Harper revisited →

(Version française au bas de la page)

3 weeks ago, I had the surprise to find in my mailbox, a courriel from Michael Ernest Sweet. If you follow my Blogs, you know that I really love his work on “The Human Fragment“. I wrote a Blog a year ago when MES stated that he was quitting Street Photography. Well guess what ? He’s back. Kind of … His mail was a response to my Blog written 12 months ago. A very happy surprise. He gave a very insighful interview to Tim Huynh and I urge you to go and read it if you hadn’t already read it (here). Michael accepted to talk with me about his most recent work. Some thoughts on the Ricoh GRD IV, on the Harinezumi camera, on his artistic vision of the medium. Come take a ride with him !

Interview with Youngjae Lim @ NYCSPC.

It’s been a while since I did not interview photographers on behalf of this blog. And yet I have a long list of people I would like to hear about photography ! Let me introduce Youngjae, a NYC guy I discovered at the time on the World-Street.Photography platform. The cover photo of this article is quite characteristic of his work. Capturing moments. I do not want to enter into an analysis of this one, but everything is there : the content and the form. Despite the large number of characters in the frame, everything is readable. I have the impression to see a scene from the series “The Handmaids Tale”. When I discovered Youngjae at the time, he was only doing B&W. I was amazed by the atmosphere of his photos and elsewhere in the photos he chose, there is one that I prefer. This mysterious hand in the back of the car. Who puts his hand like that in the back of the car ? In a pinch it is often those who drive who have this gesture. In short, I love this picture where the human presence is summarized in this body fragment in the frame. Come and meet Youngjae. Continue reading Interview with Youngjae Lim @ NYCSPC. →

I first discovered her work on World Street Photography platform. Believe me or not, but she started shooting in B&W. Her transition to color was a newborn. What I like specially about her work is her crazy point of view on the world and the vivid colors of her photographs. Let me introduce you  to Julia Coddington from Australia !

Here’s the guy who made me buy the Ricoh GRD IV. Reading his articles on this tiny Point & Shoot made me want to get one. I don’t have to regret it. Olivier is also the Co-founder of Inspired Eye. I had the opportunity to talk to him on skype and it was funny to see that we have a lot in common. Asian guys, video games lovers, two  little kids… Well the idea was to interview him. He’s used to be the interviewer. So let’s ask him some questions ! Continue reading Meet Olivier DUONG, an Inspired Guy. →

John Harper : The Gentleman Photographer.

(Version française au bas de la page)

Hello John, we met on 500px last year as I was a just starting Street Photography. One of the first photographs that comes to my mind when I think about your work is a picture of Amelie, your daughter, you took while she was seating near a window. You were looking for a nice place with light to make a photograph and she showed you the way. Continue reading John Harper : The Gentleman Photographer. →

Une Ombre qui caresse la ville.

(English version at the bottom of the page)

J’ai rencontré Tristan Cocrelle il y a de ça 6 mois. J’avais à l’époque tout de suite été séduit par son style. C’est assez difficile à expliquer mais je vais utiliser une célèbre citation de Bruce Gilden pour résumer  : “If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it’s a street photograph”.  Je le remercie d’avance d’avoir bien voulu répondre  à ces quelques questions. Continue reading Une Ombre qui caresse la ville. →

Vasco Trancoso (Portugal)

(Version française au bas de la page)

I have a love/hate relationship with social media. But there’s one thing I really like about it, is the opportunity to discover some great photographers. I decided to write some articles about these enthusiastic Streettogs (Street Photographers). Vasco Trancoso  from Portugal is one of them. I’d like to thank him for taking the time to answer some of my questions. Continue reading The Beautiful Light of Caldas da Rainha. →
