Hi dear Charlie ! What a pleasure to write an article for the first time !

For my first article, I wanted to share with you one of my passion : photography !

Today, I want to talk about a great photographer that I’ve recently discovered thanks to Mr

Leah : Louis Faurer.

I had the opportunity to go to a great exhibition last holidays in the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris where many of his beautiful pictures are shown ! If you have the occasion to go to Paris this week (yeah I know it’s probably gonna be complicated…) take note that this great exhibition ends on the 18th of december (which means today !).

                                           

                                          

                                     

Louis Faurer is an American photographer and a master of street photography. He was born in 1916 in Philadelphia but spent most of his life in New York which doesn’t surprise me given that New York is The Place to be for a photographer. Indeed, The Big Apple is an inexhaustible resource for street photographers such as Faurer, thanks to its diversity.

What I love in Faurer’s way of photographing is his capacity to sublimate unknown people we meet everyday in the street. His job was to capture these simple moments which are part of our daily life and that we do not take enough time to contemplate.

Moreover, his black and white pictures are always full of emotions and representative of a ‘gone with the wind’ past.
