Description from the seller
Born in 1962 in the Mâconnais region, Thierry Valencin, after several years spent in French Polynesia, leaves France for Germany, where he stays for nearly ten years. In Frankfurt and then Munich, he founded the Demi-Lune photography gallery, thereby discovering the city’s cultural and artistic scene. His encounters with painters, writers, filmmakers, theater people, and above all photographers gradually lead him to take up the camera himself.
Encouraged by the quality of his early shots, he perfects his technique through various assistantships — fashion magazines, TV studios, film shoots, album covers — while developing a personal style. From his first images, a mastery of the gaze asserts itself, a mastery that will continue to deepen over the years. Despite the diversity of his experiences, his photographic journey remains remarkably coherent, faithful to an initial intuition that runs through his entire body of work.
Back in France in 1995, he dedicates himself entirely to photography. His numerous travels nourish and confirm his vision. He later founded Atelier Valencin, a place of research and production where he deepens, in particular, the techniques of silver gelatin printing and develops a very personal conception of blur. In his work, grain, light, and shadow do not describe the image: they make it appear, revealing the intimacy of landscapes, objects, and bodies.
In 2010, he published Au bord de l’autre, a work gathering thirty-four photographs taken over more than twenty years, between India, Europe, the United States, and France. Conceived as a voluntary wandering, this book testifies to an available gaze, attentive to everything that happens, where each image becomes a moment of humanity and poetry.
Seller's Story
“L’œil du Douard” is dedicated to all lovers of photography.
This site offers prints from my personal collection featuring renowned "signatures", as well as prints entrusted to me by collectors for private sale. The proofs are mostly printed manually and using the silver process.
In 2019, with the creation of the Atelier/Galerie Taylor in Paris, I extend another way of the medium. Transmit, accompany and promote the work of photographers who are dear to me, both from the 20th century and more contemporary.
The images offered here touch me, challenge me, sometimes question, often inspire. Thank you to all those who have nourished my life path with their precious presence and support over the years and tomorrow!
This site is a tribute to photographers and their work.
