Yann Theveniaud

Yann Theveniaud, 36, lives and works near Ambert in the Forez, a medium mountain massif that is his first source of inspiration. Photography is a family affair: his father taught him the basic rules of composition at an early age. But it is especially from 2006 that it becomes an essential part of her life, to move towards a more personal and intimate path.

"For me, the image is only interesting if it arouses an emotion. It is the contemporary photography that I like the most, that of Alec Soth, Raymond Depardon, Gregory Crewdson, Josef Hoflehner, Martin Parr...

I like to reflect on the themes of memory, the individual past, the territory and the introspective gaze of the photographer. My work has become during the series an almost psychoanalytical personal reflection." Y.T.
