Dramatic Morning at Chaumont
Do I have a style ? Difficult to say. I like to think that what appears on my picture do not depend on me. The only part in the process where I am active is deciding to be somewhere at a specific moment, but I can't control what I'll see. This way of thinking describes what happens only to a certain extend, but it's not enough. In fact, the way we capture what's there to see, the way we edit picture and so on participate to a style, whatever the subject-matter. If I have a quick look to my Flickr
page, I can see that I a am a warm colorful kind of photographer. I like slightly saturated tones and sunrise/sunset colors. Whatever shot I take, I'll present it this way. If I speak about it today is because this picture is kind of different of what I do usually with this very kind of topic. I have many pictures of the alps, but most of the time, they looked quite quiet and calm. Sometimes I even used ND filter to accentuate this quite atmosphere. Here I show you something more dramatic, even a little messy, "to-much-information-ish" compared to my standards. When I look at this series, it's as if I wanted them to be more simple. But on the other hand, I like the fact that they are different. Because it's good to have a style, but it's also a little bit scary : will I always stick to it ? Won't it be a prison ? Am I still innovative ? (even regarding myself). With such questions, it's good to create some picture that looks a little bit like it wasn't you that took them, like an invitation to change your style, slightly ...
