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