Jean-Guy Caumeil, photographer, still alive, 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 essential lies in capturing an emotion in the model’s posture or gaze. He seeks 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 themselves. Photography is not a story or a pre-established meaning shown. Photography tells nothing, does not advocate, does not deliver a message, does not impose a point of view. Photography is a gift that allows the reader to tell their own story, to advocate, and to read their message.
The handling of light is crucial for him, as is the complicity with the model. In this minimalist vein, he began in 2015 a sustained but non-exclusive collaboration with a single model.
