Put me on the road with a camera, i'll be the happiest person in the world.
Wherever life takes me, i feel the urge to go for long walks, immerse myself in cities, explore nature and contemplate intense landscapes. If some issues matter to me, I will relentlessly dedicate my time to them, as honestly as I can, going back to places over and over again.
Ultimately, my desire to chase light, shapes, colours, moods and to meet people is what keeps me going.
I have also worked on series of portraits over the years.
I'd like to thank you all very much for your visits, comments, feedback, favourites... it's well appreciated!
Hit me up if you feel like it, but don't ask me about cameras and lenses. They're just tools to me, not objects of worship.

Fredcan is one of the most captivating, most expressive, and the most breath-taking photographer I've known and his photos are simply the best among all I've viewed in flickr.. He is a great practitioner of the decisive moment that Henri Cartier-Bresson advocated. I simply look at his photos and I try to emulate his photos and his technique with mine photos, hoping someday.. I'll be good as him. Sincerely, Virgil Gabriel

I love the way Fred shows India and her peoples, he is an important constituent of the group of French photographers on Flickr who inspire me personally (and possibly many others) to pick up my camera and discover my own land. He is in love with India and is so well at portraying this land it's people in a good light and loving it in-spite of her numerous shortcomings. On my short meet in Delhi I found Fred to be an amiable idealist who carries the most basic equipment (fixed lens on a 450D) and is not afraid to transgress the stereotypical tourist's boundaries (staying with the sadhus) to produce magnificent photographic results. I wish that he continues to travel and keep inspiring people by his pictures and his attitude about life - there is more to life than accumulating money.

Una de las primeras fotos que vi en Flickr nos muestra a tres peregrinos hindús caminando a través de la niebla. Gracias a esta imagen llena de misterio y cotidianidad a un mismo tiempo ( v. www.flickr.com/ph... ) conocà el trabajo de Fred, que sabe transmitirnos a través de sus fotos la pasión por una cultura y un paÃs. Con un estilo de marcada personalidad, donde se unen la sinceridad y el dominio de las sutilezas de la luz y el color, las fotografÃas de Fred nos seducen dÃa a dÃa con la contundencia de las cosas hechas con el corazón. Nadie debe perderse una de sus últimas series, la titulada "Ganesh Chaturthi" ( v. www.flickr.com/ph... ), donde la devoción hinduista nos arrastra por las calles de Paris, con una extraña intensidad, poco frecuente en las imágenes de Flickr.

Fredcan e' un fotografo di grande talento. Personalmente sono affascinato dai suoi reportage sull'India, ammirando i quali, si puo' letteralmente viaggiare attraverso questo splendido paese. Grazie Fred e continua ad emozionarci con la tua fotografia.
