So Las Vegas and Dubai are the yearly destinations of The Harpers ! If you want sun, no need to go that far ! Come to Aix-en-Provence ;). Anyway, you’d better come quickly cos as I told you, we’re about to move far from here. Well still a project but when the opportunity will come we’ll immediatly jump in ! Is Dubai a family trip or you managed to get rid off the kids again ? 😉
I don’t think that my style will change radically. I still like dirty, gritty, contrasted photographs. I still like to get close to feel this shot of adrenaline. But sometimes, taking a few steps back to see the whole scene happening in front of me is really interesting, instead of rushing into people to get what I want. The process is slower. I look around to find an anchor subject and try to build my frame by adding others stories in it. I work a lot by instinct in the street, letting random things filling my frame. When editing some gems appear. But I’m trying to work differently to let less randomness enter the frame. It’s difficult, because it’s another mindset. But I really like it

I went through Google to find some of your early work with the GRD IV and the form (aesthectic) was very different from your present work. I guess that speaking for me, it’s the logical evolution of my work. Trying not to rely only on the form. Nevertheless, I really like contrasted pictures, but I need to add more content in my photos. And taking a few steps back to concentrate more on the composition and makes me a better photographer. For sure, at this moment, I need something different to evolve.

A few blogposts ago I was in Vegas, this one I’m in Abu Dhabi…you’re blog is turning into my holiday reading, I won’t need to pack a book soon if only you could post two or three per day 😉 Once again a superb blogpost Jeff and as always the accompanying photos.
