Jerome is a 35 year old French photographer. He has been living in Moscow for less than one year.
After 10 years of international consulting and lots of overseas travel, he discovered the richness of cultural differences. He acquired memories, smells, sensations, images, but never took a single photo…
Early in 2008, the photographic virus seized him and in his first national level photography competition in France he achieved 10th place.
Jerome is an aesthete, his work naturally ‘orients itself’ to female models and the enhancement of their beauty through portfolio shots. At the same time, his curiosity pushes into landscape and animal photography, which require a different skill set altogether. The sensations and feelings engendered by a photograph of a model, a landscape shot or hunting photo are extremely different, but Jerome manages to elicit strong emotions from all of them.
After only two years of photography, his work is very eclectic. It represents culturally different styles with a French inspiration. His style is the one of freedom; the freedom to choose the style in which he will present his photos.
Where a strange unwritten rule seems to force each professional photographer to standardize his work, Jerome has to date resisted these voices and refused such standardization. He believes this uniqueness leads to monotony and boredom, whereas diversity is the source of richness and satisfaction. As a consequence he is able to provide services that will satisfy the numerous tastes and most photographic styles required by his customers.
As a medium and long term goal he wants to orientate his work mostly to fashion photography, for which he has a special attraction. His seriousness, motivation and persistence should allow him to reach his goals.
