Description from the seller

An image from a reportage at the Bordeaux Opera in 1977. I really loved the studio atmosphere, that hard work, that constant dedication, but also in that old studio the light from the immense windows.

Jacques Villégier:
« It was dance that set me on the path to photography. For about ten years I travelled from studios to theatres. Part of these images was acquired by the National Library.
I was a member for 10 years of the Explorer agency and published in numerous national and international journals. »

This carbon print was made on Japanese paper, which gives it that inimitable depth and velvety look. At the time I worked with high-sensitivity films that I pushed to the maximum in development, which increased the grain and the contrast.
