As a trained photographer/retoucher, I invite you to share in my childhood dreams of airplanes, photos, and air meetings.
My fascination for airplanes might have something to do with the magic you feel when you see these man-made machines take off and fly through invisible air.
I create photographic artworks printed on brushed aluminum, which you can admire in the Photo Gallery.
Shooting these images, I feel like a child in a theme park, totally free.
Running from one camera to another to capture different angles of view, the future images I am going to process impose themselves on me and constantly inspire me.
It is as if these imposing machines were talking to me, pointing their noses up at the sky, seeming to want to go back there again. These airplanes are part of the story and give me the feeling that they are sharing a little of their own story.
The work I am presenting here is part of a project that I have been working on for years.
We are dealing with augmented reality, where several shots taken together reveal spots on the components, propellers, and paintwork of these aircraft.
Most aircraft fuselages are made of aluminum alloy.
An alchemy occurs here between the photograph and the metallic support on which the image is printed, giving us the illusion of appropriating a part of the aircraft.
On a wall, your copy comes to life, with the light constantly revealing new details
