My name is Arthur. I’m 20 years old and live in Bordeaux since 2 years now. I’m studying International Trade, Communication and Marketing here in an International Business School, which is one of the reasons why I got more into traveling and curious about cultures. I went abroad to Germany and Greece as part of my study and lived together with local families during these semesters. However, I think the foundation of my curiosity for other countries, landscapes and cultures derives from the trips my parents took me on when I was younger. It’s also because of my parents I got into photography: They gave me a camera as a present for my 15th birthday. This present has helped me a lot in my personal development; I have always been shy and the camera offered me new ways to express myself.
Living in a city makes me feel stressed sometimes and being outside shooting is relaxing and above all very inspiring. I think inspiration is something very powerful to keep ourselves motivated and our mind and imagination active. Seeing people creating things as they have in mind is one of the greatest things in art for sure. I love to create and show my followers what I see and how I see it, it’s about sharing a part of myself with others.
In my opinion we are lucky to have social platforms where we can share, demonstrate, contemplate, interpret and appreciate art the way we feel like. However, I try to use Instagram as less as possible because it can also kill your creativity. Looking at some photographers and thinking that that’s the way to do things is a mistake that you may make even unconsciously. Follow your ideas, imagine, and then, create from that! Art has beauty and emotional power, but it’s subjective. It’s mainly a way of expressing your creativity and feelings in a more abstract way and you cannot control how others react to it.
For example, I care a lot about the preservation of our Earth and I am trying to convey this when I share my photographs along with texts about the environment. I’m not going to tell you “hey mate our earth is dying let’s do something” because almost everybody knows that. I’m using the place I visited and captured to let people imagine how those landscapes could become dirty, then I’m giving answers. I’m also showing a mobile app in my stories that can help people to regulate their consummations in every sector that produces CO2. I’m also working on partnerships with some green brands to introduce them to my followers and also help these brands to reach people with interests in what they do.
Besides that, I am always looking forward to join other projects. I am now getting more into music photography and I have been shooting at different festivals already. I am always open for new stuff to do, and besides that I am still learning! I never took courses and just educated myself by trying things out. Once I felt ready, I switched to manual mode and discovered all the parameters. I got a new camera two years ago and just got to know about double exposition and how it works on this camera! Also, in June I went on a four-days photography trip with 39 other photographers; one of my favorite experiences so far! But there are thousand ways to learn about photography so the best advice I can give on this subject is: do what you want, but do it on your own way!
Personally I am just listening to myself when editing, so my editing style changes as well. Most of time I try to accentuate the feelings that I have when I took the shot. That’s why I am working on desaturate colors and blue/black tones. Even if the blue is part of my favorite range of shades -which is why I’m using it in most of my clichés – I like to use purple or pink when I’m shooting sea or ocean with a human presence, as in the pictures I’ve taken in the Bask Country.
