Dans un décors qui ressemble à celui d'un théâtre, une femme s'interpose dans le champ. Paris, Barcelone, Rome ou Venice. Dans la rue, le métro, une chambre d'hôtel. A midi, le soir, dans la nuit ou bien au petit matin. Des compositions classic en noir et blanc mais néanmoins gracieuses et fortes d'émotions. Tel e… Read more

Dans un décors qui ressemble à celui d'un théâtre, une femme s'interpose dans le champ. Paris, Barcelone, Rome ou Venice. Dans la rue, le métro, une chambre d'hôtel. A midi, le soir, dans la nuit ou bien au petit matin. Des compositions classic en noir et blanc mais néanmoins gracieuses et fortes d'émotions. Tel est la vision d'immortalité que donne Po-pad. On le verra se mettre en scène lui même également, afin de rappeler l'importance de sa présence dans chaque prise de vue. La photo est une vision personnelle, un contact une entreprise que la sensibilité ici est montré à un point de vue personnel est touchant. Je me souviens encore la premier contact avec l'une de ses photos, j'étais jalousement pétrifier par la qualité, l'émotion et la mise en scène. je ne pouvais me détacher de ses cliché, la présence humaine représenté par une femme sortant d'un film noir et blanc des années 50 tout dans un décors de métro parisien actuel. je jalousais cette précision dans le cadrage et la lumière. Puis j'ai pris leçon et tache maintenant dans mes compositions de prendre exemple sur se grand photographe dont les images restent toujours présentent dans ma tête... à toi Po-pad Steve Duteuil

At first ,I just caught a glimpse of Po-Pad's work. After that,a lot of time spent in silent concentration.My heart fell to vague depths between those images. There are such spaces that I can't think but feel.I threw off my mind to experience the uncertainty of air from his photos,so I felt the extensiveness of their being with my emotion. Another element of Po-Pad's works which still impresses me is the awesome range of every condensed moment.He took them without artificial setting,as though he set the caged model free.The artistic aura which Po-Pad appeared is the refinement of a soul through time. No one would miss or fail to see.Such beauty existis here to all who would stop and feel.Do you see it？Like the fluid time is frozen,and waiting to be born......

Po-pad produces very interesting traditional photos, the majority of them being lith. Lith can be used in two different ways; upgrading a bad negative or enhancing an already interesting image.

Po-pad produces very interesting traditional photos, the majority of them being lith. Lith can be used in two different ways; upgrading a bad negative or enhancing an already interesting image. Po-pad prefers the latter, obviously. His compositions are excellent; mostly centred around an intriguing model. The background always has its own atmosphere, and adds to the emotion the model expresses.

Wistfully perusing flickr's pages one hazy afternoon not so long ago, something very special caught my eye; a quietly alluring portrait of a disarmingly beautiful woman, set against the backdrop of a Parisien train station.

Wistfully perusing flickr's pages one hazy afternoon not so long ago, something very special caught my eye; a quietly alluring portrait of a disarmingly beautiful woman, set against the backdrop of a Parisien train station. Simply entitled 'Metro', it had a wonder about it I couldn't quite place, but it left me with the distinct feeling that I'd stumbled upon something rather special. Thankfully, I was right. Po-pad's photos are sublime examples of a genuine master at work. Delicately crafted pieces of art in it's truest sense, they each carry a timeless beauty rarely seen in photography these days. A true master and a true inspiration.

One of the best phptographers I've seen on Flickr. I've seen a lot of photographed faces, but few with power, emotion and technique...not all at the same time. Po-pad handles cameras, contrast, light and darkroom -as all photos are scans from prints- like a master. Also, Love that girl who appears in almost all his pic… Read more

Also, Love that girl who appears in almost all his pictures...he manages to capture her deep emotions, besides her great beauty.

Quand on se proméne sur Flickr on est submergé par des milliers de photos. Tous les tyles, tous les genres... Mais tout de suite, avec évidence, certains vous saisissent, vous touchent. Les photos de Po-Pad m'ont tout de suite fait penser à l'un de mes photographes préférés : Anton Corbijn. L'un des meilleurs portraitistes que je connaisse, utilisant le noir et blanc comme peu savent le faire. Po-Pad est de ceux là. Avec son univers, son monde. Qu'il nous fait partager ici. Et nous avons de la chance...

looking at Po-Pad's photos is like reading a book on a late afternoon with a cup of coffee..the book has too many stories to tell us and to share..it has emotional poems which make us remember the good old memories we had in the past..maybe an old lover, maybe a night out when we were young..this is what photography ha… Read more

looking at Po-Pad's photos is like reading a book on a late afternoon with a cup of coffee..the book has too many stories to tell us and to share..it has emotional poems which make us remember the good old memories we had in the past..maybe an old lover, maybe a night out when we were young..this is what photography has to be and po-pad is doing this in the best way..thank you very much for sharing your book of life with us dear..

Po-Pad's work is beautiful out of any specific time reference. If you told me these photos were from 100 years ago or from 100 years in the future, their beauty would be consistently strong.

Po-Pad's work is beautiful out of any specific time reference. If you told me these photos were from 100 years ago or from 100 years in the future, their beauty would be consistently strong. I do not know what country the photos are taken in. I don't know the environments' dominant religions, languages, ethnicities, or locations. And none of those considerations matter, because the artfulness in the photos is universal. I see gifted people and I encourage them. That is what I can do. It is not much, but it is a good thing for me (and hopefully others) to do. Every artist should be so fortunate to have a muse and a model as compelling as Po-Pad's. I think he senses a responsibility that he has not just a creative impulse, but also a duty to show the beauty in her that he sees, and that she is willing to reveal to him, to the rest of us mere mortals. To understand the beauty of Po-Pad's imagery, here is an exercise to try. Look at all the photos with his compelling model in them. Now, imagine she is not in the picture. Yes, surely the picture is diminished by her absence. But also, see how the compositions, balances, and darknesses work in the photos, even when you imagine her gone. Yes, she is the reason to take the photos, but environmentally, the photos can stand on their own. Po-Pad's images remind us that the visual arts cannot be conveyed in thumbnails. Compare the visual enjoyment of "Wonderland" from thumbnail to (800 x 545). Then, imagine its potential in larger ratios. Po-Pad's work reminds us that environments matter. Look at the interior decor of the inner rooms where he photographs. It appears clear that he (and she) have created interior spaces that will add character to life's intimate pauses. Then, I imagine him walking around those spaces, looking through his viewfinder, and finding the POVs that will create the best backgrounds for his muse. Po-Pad's work is about using perspective to make uncommon spaces intimate. Whether it's children playing, a marketplace, a public courtyard, or a comfortable room. There is a feeling that a shield resides just outside of the borders of his photos, protecting what he cares about within. Intimacy. Po-Pads works can help someone understand the concepts and reasons to pursue intimacies. I cannot create his wonderful worlds. I cannot frame worlds so artfully. But I can give attention and warranted praise to his works.

Po-pad's images are absolutely wonderful. I have personally never seen such beautiful pictures anywhere. What I appreciate the most isn't only the fact that lith printing requires extra care and patience, but also po-pad's point of view, his personal search for beauty.

Po-pad's images are absolutely wonderful. I have personally never seen such beautiful pictures anywhere. What I appreciate the most isn't only the fact that lith printing requires extra care and patience, but also po-pad's point of view, his personal search for beauty. His photographs have many things to say. Try to spend a little more time to look at them. I'm telling you, it's totally worth it. It's an experience.
