French Photo n°3

By Théo Gosselin

Deliberately cinematic, Gosselin's photography reveals friends in the act of escaping from their regular lives into newly enticing and perilous modes of existence, ever in search of the persistent though elusive idea of freedom."

Born near Le Havre in Normandy in 1990, Theo Gosselin grew up with the sea, the wind, the forest, and the sound of electric guitars, echoing in the deserted streets of this grey city from the north of France. Fond of drawing, music, and cinema, he graduated in 2012 as a graphic designer in Amiens. 


He started photography in 2007, and it became his reason to live. He loves capturing simple life, love, good and bad moments, his friends and his adventures. He is an eternal traveller trying to find peace on the roads of  Europe and the USA. He shares his way of life with people he loves. 
In August 2012, he made his first full-length film, "Goodbye Horses", a road movie in which he is an actor with four friends. They bought a van in NY city and they drove 20 000 km across the USA to LA.
 

Young, free and immortal.

French Photo n°2

By Henry Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 – August 3, 2004) was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the street photography or life reportage style that was coined The Decisive Moment that has influenced generations of photographers who followed.

French Photo n°1

By JR

E JR, born February 22, 19831, is a French contemporary artist. He exhibits his photographs in the street, calling it "the biggest art gallery in the world." His work combines art and action and deals with commitment, freedom, identity and limits.

After finding a camera in the Paris metro in 2001, he started exploring the world of European urban art and followed those who express their message on walls. Then he began to work on the vertical limits, watching people and slices of life in forbidden basements and rooftops of the capital.


JR does not consider himself as a street artist nor a photographer. For his projects, he uses photos but also videos or canvas. 

"I want to bring art in unlikely places and create large projects that involves various communities and forces us to question the world."
