My name is Guillaume Michel. I am a french guy and live in the south of France. I am an aeronautical engineer but I am not here to talk about my profession but just about my passion: photography.
I have actually been doing photography for more than 15 years but my approach at the beginning was very different from today. As many people I took pictures in order to remember a scene or a trip and to share a memory but I quickly realized that the interest aroused was quite weak. It was normal, a memory is just personal.
So I decided to take pictures for the sole purpose of freezing and transmitting the feeling and emotion I felt when I pressed the shutter. Of course it was necessary to learn some basic technics but it allowed me to start to blossom in this Art.
Then why the black and white will you say . . ?
I think black and white and its tones go straight to the point, it’s a direct catalyser of emotion. The image is not polluted by color and its variations. The colored photo will only capture a moment of the life or a piece of nature but black and white will show the souls, life and feelings . By consulting my portfolio I hope that you will feel the iodized air of the oceans, the emotions of the people, the souls of the nature.
Enjoy the journey !
Yours,
