Why her ?
Feminine condition most of all mental condition of the women is the principal interest of Cindy Sherman’s work : sad, sexy,frightened, adventurer, winner, loser almost all mental representation except happyness. She is always the the person on the photo, lik an actress she disguises herself with make up etc… very gripping.

Why Him?

He is the absolute master of black and white photographs that have unimaginable gray shades. The time – time to make, the passage of time- is just as important too.

Philippe RAMETTE– French Photographer –

Levitation de chaise n°2 ; 2006   “Exploration rationnelle des fonds sous-marins : le contact 2006”
Bronze 162 x 100 x 90 cm                                                               Photographie couleur 150 x 120 cm

Why Him ?
Each photograph is a challenge. Ramette defies the laws of gravity. He creates absurd interior scenes that take place on the seabed of a pool or in the ocean. He is at photography what Beckett was for plays.

Galeria Juana de Aizpuru

Why him ?
Pierre Gonnord examines straight in the eyes the singular side of the person he shoots. in just one shot we see the whole life of his character. He choose to describe marginal people as Victor Hugo did. Excellent.
