Jean-Guy Caumeil, photographer, still alive, from Saint-Étienne, France. Creator of the Studio du Trident.
The author develops a style he describes as minimalist; little or no set or accessories, 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 predefined story or meaning to behold. The photograph tells nothing, does not advocate, does not deliver a message, 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 their own message.
The work of light is crucial to him, as is the rapport with the model. In this minimalist approach, he began in 2015 a long-running, permanent but non-exclusive collaboration with a single model.
