Jean-Guy Caumeil, photographer, still living, from Saint-Étienne, France. Creator of Studio du Trident.
The author develops a style he describes as minimalist; little or no set or accessory, the essence lies in capturing an emotion in the posture or gaze of the model. He seeks to strip the scene to allow the sign (punctum) to be perceived and to guide the viewer toward the meaning the viewer will give to the photo themselves. Photography is not a story or a pre-established meaning to be seen. Photography tells nothing, does not advocate, does not deliver a message, does not impose a point of view. Photography is a gift that lets the viewer tell their own story, advocate, and read their message.
The handling of light is crucial for him, as well as the rapport with the model. In this minimalist vein, since 2015 he has begun a long-running, non-exclusive collaboration with a single model.
