PHILIPPINES - Childhood appears on its own at the heart of the theme of ages, among the harvest of my photographs taken around the world.-
The children accept my invisible presence, and forget the photographer. There is no hide and seek, with the lens. Only spontaneous expression counts.
They move naturally in front of adults, their parents or among themselves, in the space offered to them by the street.
Natural light, color, composition is a deliberate choice that concentrates through its nuances and contrasts the feeling that emerges from each face:
cheerfulness, sadness, melancholy, surprise, disappointment, desire . Each photo is a story in itself. An intimate drama, or a joy that is revealed and suddenly explodes. What is true persists beyond time and place.
