  • 
What is the practical sense of photography for you?
  • N. Wernimont
  • Being above all ……… the photographer comes from the being.
  • It’s being frank and accepting oneself. Clairvoyant man, the artist, reveals and brings to
  • the surface the union of a being.
  • Photographer or artist, its not a profession. It’s a profession to being.
  • The photographer constructs his own mirror and gives a view beyond the apparent.
  • The image proposed is like an inversed magnifying glass – sending back every one to his own emotions.
  • It permits oneself to re-appropriate a little of oneself.
  • Photography speaks of us, of what we have of the most intimate, or our unconsciousness.
  • This brings about the question of the growing attraction of the photograph in these last years.
  • Is it not a reply to a society that occults the individual?
  • Without any gentleness, the photographer brings signs and reveals our own perceptive state.
