Biography
I didn't know what to do in life. I saw him working and I loved it. Meeting photographer Dom Daher got me glued to the eyepiece at 20 years of age. A jack-of-all-trades assistant, I worked with pixels for two and a half years before buying my first camera with the insurance money from my crashed car. A lens instead of four wheels, that will take you much further.
It was in Whistler that I became a real photographer. A year of filtering the light of the Rockies, with skiers and mountain bikers, a year bent over the screen for my first nuggets to pan out and for my first publications.
I am now one of the most sought after photographers in the world of photography. To work, I only use real life, I try to use the natural elements around me, to create a beautiful and aesthetic image of what surrounds me. I only use strobes on very specific projects.
For me, photography is not a matter of taste, ideas or spirit. It is above all flesh incarnated on the page. I bring back to life. I fetch my pictures by hand, without gloves. They are cut raw, pixels left unpolished by photoshop. I keep the sharp angles to bring the clashes, to make noise. Movement in its pure form. Spasms between the four corners of the frame.
Photography is part of my world for 15 years now. The evolution has been huge and so are my motivations when it comes to photography. This is the good thing with photography, evolution and ideas are endless. It's just like a blank page again and again. I would say I am more and more focussed on human relations than action itself now. To me, our eyes are always under construction, meaning the way your eyes see things through the prism of a camera never stops evolving and so is your photography.
To me, our eyes are just tools to be trained- Jeremy Bernard
