Pierre

Pierre Aucher — Bordeaux, France

 

Self-taught, photography has been a passion since the age of 15, when I acquired my first camera, a Zenith E.

In the early days, learning from a book on "creative photography" shaped my eye. Whatever the subject, my eye remains sensitive to original framing, graphic shapes, saturated colours and high contrasts.

I've always photographed traditional subjects such as landscapes, architecture and nudes. But my attraction for art, painting and sculpture, is at the origin of the two projects presented.

For the "Surrealist body" ongoing project, I've taken up a new photographic practice, making photomontages in Photoshop. These are made (without AI) from digitised slides.

This new practice opens up an infinite space for creativity. Inspired by surrealist painting, these photomontages satisfy my desire to transform reality into imaginary without the constraints of reason.

In the end, photography dialogues with painting and sculpture.
