FRENCH:

Six de ces photos sont manipulées sur l’ordinateur; la 1ere, la 3eme, la 5eme, la 6eme et les deux dernières. De mon point de vue, le photographe donne à montrer une image telle qu’il la voit et le post-traitement est un outil qui va dans ce sens. Modifier une image n’est pas simple; développer une film argentique nécessite du savoir, du temps et du matériel de la même façon qu’un fichier numérique nécessite un ordinateur, des programmes et des connaissances. Tous les appareil photos -argentiques ou numériques-, tous les objectifs et tous les écrans, donnent des rendus différents et je pense que la vision du photographe, elle, est unique. Le post-traitement vise juste, si besoin, à “personnaliser” la photo.

ENGLISH

Six of these pictures have been manipulated, the 1st one, the 3rd one, the 5th one, the 6th one and the two last ones. To my mind, the photographer wants to show the picture as he saw it and the post-treatment is a tool allowing this. Modifying a picture is not an easy thing, to develop a film you need knowledge, time and materials in the same way you need a computer, applications and knowledge to process a digital file. All cameras (digital or not), all lenses, and all screens, give different results, whereas the photographs vision is unique. Post-treatment enables the, maybe necessary, personal-customisation of the picture.

This is an HDR I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. These are all the shoes I brought with me up to Norway. I have some more waiting for me in Toulouse, France.

Click on the picture to see it on my flickr page, in different sizes.

I like how the HDR processing improves the details! This one was made from 5 pictures with different exposures and assembled in photomatix pro.
