My intention was not to make original pictures, but more about testing, exploring. Especially in film, where patience is key to see the results of the shooting.
Little series, that I hope you find your own metaphoric history, done with an old but solid Rolleiflex SL66 / 80mm / Kodak Portra 400.

Doing portraiture with films, whatever the format, gives always a feeling of doing something great, feeling ourself alive by the research of perfection without reaching it and by the magie of the chimie.
Iceland is a country where it is easy to compose for photography.
I have tried to make a little bit of originality in my compositions. They are available on my website in two sides: The white and the blue (julienjegat.com/blog).
Here, I share some pictures made with my antique analog camera Nikon F3.
Etna, largest volcano in activity in Europe, shows lunar views quite everywhere when going to the top of the mount. Also, due to its location, it is possible to see Nebrody forest in the north, Catania and the mediterranean sea in the east,… Views without limits in the horizon, when the clouds authorize us to see the infinite of the horizon.
Born in Northern France, I lived in different places in Europe (like Brno, Czech R.). I settled down in Toulouse during 7 years before moving in Hamburg in June 2016. I explore now THE vibrant arts scene here in the northern part of Europe.
My view about photography is for the photographer to show his spirit, as a writer can do it within his novel. But with a difference: Let the possibility for the viewers to narrate their own story. I take this little pleasure in seeing people introduce their stories within the shape I built via photography.
I mainly switch between portrait and scenic photography. In different nuances, both allow me imagining, dreaming in something well wider than what the eyes can see.
