Lucie Beauvert is a French Production Designer.
"I use photography to build a sample book of environments. It is a way to capture the glint of ordinary situations and uneventful things. Focusing on the places before they get populated, I draw a catalogue of mundane yet compelling atmospheres, lights, textures, colour palettes. Those images inspire or testify of my work as a production designer."

Cette sélection de photos est conçue autour du passage. Une notion qui induit une entrée et une sortie, un mouvement dans l’espace mais aussi dans la mémoire. Passage du temps bien sûr, au cours de voyages divers et passage d’individus avec des personnes que l’on croise, avec qui on vit et partage, et que l’on perd souvent de vue - que je perds souvent de vue. Cette perte est effective dans la vraie vie mais aussi dans la mémoire. Que reste-t-il quand cette dernière nous fait défaut ? Quand les formes se brouillent, quand la voix des uns et des autres se meurt dans le désert du temps passé ? On garde -je garde- une sensation, une couleur, une température, une odeur chaude ou froide. Une sorte de synesthésie aussi, un parfum bleu, une mélodie rouge, un regard doré. Le noir aussi, si présent dans beaucoup de ces clichés, est sans doute la place, l’écran, laissé aux détails oubliés. Je veux montrer la mémoire perdue.

Cyril is a french editor and works for commercials , feature films and series.
His approach to photography is mainly sensory and tactile. he's fascinated by analogue cameras.He loves the way they feel, the sounds they make when you take a picture. To turn the focus ring. Snap. The contact with the interface between reality and perception.
All of that is quite instinctive. Nothing is premeditated in the way he tackles an image.
By juxtaposing images and their sequencing, he enjoys creating time lapse between two photos in order to induce meaning. he's fascinated by the fact that one image infects another.

David Cailley is a french cinematographer
"Photography is about researching the frame, light and colours. I think I am particularly attracted to empty spaces, places where elements collide and take on an emblematic appearance in the presence of a particular light. Dusk and dawn are special moments for that because they give us the only opportunities during the day to balance daylight and artificial light. This is the start of a struggle of contrasts between day and night. These settings then begin to tell us about solitude, abandonment, scale or shelter. So even the most trivial location can become an archetypal image. "

Rémy Chevrin is a french director of photography
"To extend my photographic work in film... towards life itself.
To express a vision through many experiences lived abroad.
To breathe in the earth, its colour, its smells, but also its numerous fruits that touch me.
To live.
After many years spent travelling the world between fiction films and advertising, I felt the need, in a very unpredictable way, to move on peacefully in order to better appreciate the world and its rhythm, but also its madness and excesses. Photography, the strength of the fixed image, forever immobile, tells stories that escape us and of which we don’t know much except that they belong to a man, a woman or an object... So it’s about trying to understand and to appreciate each and everyone’s feelings... This approach reassures me and I love sharing it..."

Isabelle Dumas has been a cinematographer for several years for feature films and adverts.
"A shoot is often like a steamroller that leaves very little time for thinking. Photography then becomes a necessary work, a sort of escape to nourish my work as a cinematographer.
The questions remain the same but the absence of constraints (of time, space, etc...) in photography, in the way I practise it, allows me to multiply the possibilities.
It is also a moment of solitude, of wanderlust and dreaming.The image can once again be too light, too dark, too blurry… A moment of uncertainty where I am once again free to delve into my childhood questionings: Do the clouds really guide the elephants? Is man a moth? Is the ant happy to be so small in the field?"

David Foulkes is a director of photography.
"As a photographer my work often features seemingly empty urban spaces. . Although I often shoot in-between places shaped by urban human society, the natural world is always present in my work — primarily through my commitment to natural light. I would always rather shape natural light, rather than create it artificially.
I am drawn to crepuscular times of day . Again I rely on the natural world to provide streaks of colour. Despite being comfortable with both documentarian and artistic commissions, my favoured style is to create an evocative image, by the most effective means necessary."

Nicolas Gaurin is a cinematographer.
"In 1978, I received a Kodak instamatic, a beginning. The first photos will pave the way for my journey. As a child, I would photograph the world around me, Lego constructions sitting on my window sill or my grandmother from the back, walking down the street taken from the living room window.
Photography allows me to partly keep my own outlook, a part of childhood, free of any professional constraint.
Photography is a way for me to venture off the beaten path. It allows me to slip away at any time, in total freedom. I don’t necessarily look to make a photograph with a unique lighting, even if I’m sensitive to that, but it’s more about capturing an instant of everyday life, which bears no great importance and yet becomes essential in photographic form.”

Stuart graham is a director of photography.
When he does get the chance to pick up his stills camera he find it very satisfying and whether it’s on a Scout for a commercial, a photo of his family or just something that catches his eye, he gives the image the same amount of love and attention.
His work as a DP has been informed by his photography work and he sees the two as a combined art. He shoot on various cameras, both old and new, use too many lenses to count and create far too many terabytes of images for his hard drive to handle. His influences today are still the photographers that he studied at 16 years old, photography is a constant, timeless thing…
He feels a lucky guy to have found it and make a living with it.

Pirra studied fine arts and specialised in cinema. Immediately afterwards, he started working as a production designer, something he has been doing until today. He combines this with his own personal projects, which he develops through photography, moving images and writing.
“I remember as a student thinking that it would be much better to place someone or something in a scene, lighting it and then photographing it, rather than painting it on a canvas.
This simple concept led me to create images that could show and explain unseen places, ideas, characters and emotions. Sometimes these images are taken from reality, sometimes they are created by manipulating it. I mainly shoot analogue, and often with multiple exposures on the same negative. I develop the images myself and edit them later, either physically, digitally or both. The final image is what’s important. Whatever it takes to achieve it.”

Maxime Pozzi Garcia is a french editor.
"My first passion has always been cinema, the second is architecture. Unconsciously I combined these two universes by becoming one of the "film architects" as a movie editor. Recently I wanted to go back to basics by taking pictures of brutalist architectures to catch their graphic, timeless and science fictional dimension.
Exploring this brutal beauty allows me to walk back in time and through the remains of what could have been another civilization, yet so close to our everyday life. Now, I try to emphasize the human beings who have learned to live in this unique environment."
