Jean-Guy Caumeil, photographer, living, from Saint-Etienne, France. Creator of Studio du Trident.
The artist develops a style he describes as minimalist: little or no set or props; what matters is capturing an emotion in the model’s pose or gaze. He seeks to strip the scene down so that the sign (punctum) can be perceived and guide the viewer toward the meaning they themselves will give the photograph. A photograph is not a story or a pre-established meaning presented for the viewer to see. Photography tells nothing, does not campaign, does not convey a message, and does not impose a point of view. Photography is a gift that allows the viewer to tell their own story, campaign for a cause, and read their own message.
The use of light is essential to him, as is the rapport with the model.
