Jean-Guy Caumeil, photographer, still living, from Saint-Étienne, France. Creator of Studio du Trident.
The author develops a style he calls minimalist; little or no set or accessory, the essential is in capturing an emotion in the model’s posture or gaze. He aims to strip the scene so that the sign (punctum) is perceived and guides the viewer toward the meaning the viewer will give to the photo. The photograph is not a story or a predefined meaning to be seen. It does not tell a story, does not advocate, does not deliver a message, and does not impose a point of view. Photography is a gift that allows the viewer to tell their own story, to advocate, and to read its message.
The work of light is crucial for him, as is the rapport with the model. In this minimalist vein, in 2015 he began a long-running, non-exclusive collaboration with a single model.
