CONGRATULATIONS Dear Julien and thank you for sharing this great joy with us !
« Photography is also a matter of obsessions and solitudes. For several decades, with constancy and humility, Julien has photographed his family, in family, with its permanencies, its joys, its fractures, its dazzling nature and its silences. [...] The strength of his images lies in the sobriety of the forms. The distance to the subject is short, a few metres, a few dozen metres at most. He has the talent of those who know how to set the scene and embody simple things to make them universal: a gesture, a hand, a face, a look, a landscape, an object, a concordance of times ».
