My name is Ganu Pi and I am a French photographer based in Paris. I would like to start my story with a short anecdote:
February 2013: Finnish Lapland.
One Thursday morning, full of energy, I took my snowshoes and I began to hike into the wild and the white immensity of Lapland between its lakes and its mountains. I found myself between thousands of frozen white firs: without any roads, without any paths, just my footprints when I looked behind me.
Towards the end of the day I reached the top of a mountain, overlooking most of the surrounding landscape, offering me an infinite view towards this cold landscape. Almost nine hours of walking, nine hours of solitude, nine hours with no sound at all but the snow that was being crushed under my feet and the howling wind in the trees.
This moment will remain forever engraved in me as a moment of freedom that I had never experienced before.
Traveling makes us discover what we don’t know. We learn. We free ourselves. We live. In these moments we discover ourselves, our styles, our preferences, our crushes…
As a result of my trips, I discovered my interest in photography many years ago. Back then I only had a small camera that cost about 100 €. I began to enjoy more and more seeing the world through my camera’s viewfinder and started paying more attention to my surroundings.
To me photography is a way of seeing things, of seeing life, of seeing our environment differently. It forces us to look at everything, scrutinize, analyze, and know. A small detail that seems insignificant can be an incredible subject if you pay enough attention.
When I share a photograph, I share a memory of an unforgettable moment. During these moments when I’m shooting, I can be stopped in full contemplation in front of what I see, I even sometimes have tears in my eyes, smiling, thinking, without understanding why, just because it makes me happy. It makes me emotional.
