I have my own vision Bernd. Recognition or not, I don’t care much. I’m just an anonymous guy taking photos on the streets of Aix-en-Provence. What I do makes sense to me. And definitely this is the most important to me.

Hard to work on a series in the street for me. I find it too restrictive. They say that working on series sharpen your eyes. But the fact is that I let my instinct guide me in the streets. We can dig in our stuff and find some series. I mean unconsciously, I made theses pictures because I had them in mind. I don’t believe in coincidence. The editing of our work is as important as the act of photographying. We see too many crap shared on Social Media. People post more and more just to exist on the web. I post at a very slow pace on FB and Instagram. That’s why I decided to go for the website and the Blog where I can share more photos with a more coherent content.
I might have found another series in my work : “Tourists in the City”. I like stalking them and I have quite a lot of pictures that could make a series… Work in progress 😉

Hé, Benjamin ! Merci de passer du côté d’ici ! Cette idée de confronter mon travail à des pros avait été prise sur un coup de tête. Mais réfléchi quand même… Ce fut plus un exercice de style que de franches révélations sur mon travail. La critique je l’accepte. Mon univers il est ce qu’il est. Je ne le changerai pas. Une chose est sûre, je dois travailler sur des séries. Seul moyen de montrer son travail à d’autres personnes. C’est ce que j’ai retenu de ces lectures. L’éditing est sûrement le travail le plus ingrat, mais le seul moyen de mettre en valeur ses photos.
Merci beaucoup pour les encouragements. Faudra qu’un de ces quatre qu’on se fasse une virée dans Aix !

Continues comme ça, tu as une super esthétique !

Instagram certainly conditioned some photographers. But many people do photograph for a single moment.
Don’t you think that isolated moments could form a serie? (With street photographies in particular)

A lesson to those who go for the “Glory Shot”. There has to be a series, a connection of some kind, otherwise photos become meaningless. Perhaps Social Media has conditioned some photographers to shoot that way, who knows? I certainly don’t have that answer. I do know that you have a style and although I find it hard to believe that anyone wouldn’t find your work captivating I fully understand that we all have different taste.

Well done for attending and preparing…your friend is correct, enter some more.
