Michele DIVOY
Sandrine MANIERE
D. REKA
From September 2 to 14, 2024
I chose to satisfy my desire to improve my photography skills and learn shooting techniques in Sète, where I settled.
My meeting with Jean Milon was decisive. Photographer and artistic director of the gallery Le vent se lève, he allowed me to make enriching encounters in the atmosphere of Le Vent se lève, my nursery, my nursery. Michèle Divoy and Réka are among them.
While taking photos for Michèle, I crossed paths with Mr. François Piètre, an extraordinary person in every way.
He moved me when he told the story of this emblematic square in Sète, where many couples exchanged their first kiss, where so many children took their first steps, where so many musicians gave their first concert.
So, I felt the need, the passion to capture moments: “literally writing with light” to arouse emotions, to create an often dark and sometimes surreal atmosphere.
As the painter William Turner said, "That is the power of the artist, he makes you see and think of much more than meets the eye!"
I invite you to explore my photographic style, mixing sadness and fascination.
It's up to you to interpret beyond appearances!
Sandrine Manière.
