Jean-Guy Caumeil, photographer, still alive, from Saint-Étienne, France. Creator of Studio du Trident.
The author develops a style he calls minimalist; little or no decor or accessory, the essential is 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 pre-packaged story or 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 allows the viewer to tell their own story, to advocate, and to read their message.
The work of light is crucial for him as is the complicity with the model. In this minimalist vein, he began in 2015 a long-running, non-exclusive collaboration with a single model.
