LIFE AND PORTRAITS

A sequence of faces and portraits of ordinary people caught in the course of their daily lives, at work, in prayer, smiling in front of the camera but also caught in their spontaneous attitudes. A mixture of feelings “stolen” by the photographer brings discussions and findings of a constantly evolving world and especially nourished by a multitude of men and women which continuously changes. The heaviness of existence shines on their faces together with a continuous renewal that leads to the absolute. Observing those faces lets those who benefit from those images think about the strength and vitality of those men and women. Maybe a hope for the world that yet has to come.
