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 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 assign to the photo. 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 allows the viewer to tell their own story, to advocate, and to read their message.
The play of light is crucial for him as is the complicity with the model. In this minimalist vein, in 2015 he began a long-running, non-exclusive collaboration with a single model.
