Humble, friendly photography of French artists in their studios by Jean-Marc Pau

Date
13 December 2012

Aside from proving to us, once more, that to be an artist living and working in France would be a dream come true, what this fantastic set of personable photographs also shows us is that portraits of well-known people do not have to be pretentious or necessarily high budget. The disarming thing about this series is how you can almost sense the kind of relationship self-professed-illustrator Jean-Marc has with his subjects, whether it be in their relaxed manner having a cigarette at a local cafe, or the way they are openly reclined in front of him in their sun-lit studios. What he is showing us is that if you want to make a photography series, just go and do it, and you can worry about the rest later. Inspirational!
