PORTRAIT . SAILING JOURNAL 02-2007
Originating from southern France (Corsica), I've always been fascinated by the sea and the combination of the three key elements which are water, wind and light. It gives us endless photographic possibilities, everything is constantly moving, changing, evolving, near and far. Sailing Photography started for me in 2004 with medium format Mamiya RB67 and 35mm Nikon Nikonos on the deck of the Moonbeam IV (Skipper was Bernard Tarrès at that time) while attending my first major regattas in the Mediterranean Sea at "Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez". It's been some years now, a couple of sunk cameras, a few bumps and bruises on the Ribs, salty water in the eyes , thousands of images and I'm still burning for it. The Sea is very demanding for both sailors and photographers, a real motivation to pushing the limits …
“La photo permet à l'humanité de prendre conscience de sa condition, de l'éphémère ... face aux éléments naturels. Le contraste entre la force de l'homme et sa fragilité sont, pour moi, une source d'inspiration.”
(...) l'une des motivation de l'Artiste; capturer l'instant T, l'image quasi invisible pour le quidam...
Les photo de Chris nous interpellent car il parvient à capturer l'angle insoupçonné que ce soit dans ses portraits, les reportages et événements sportifs auxquels il participe. Il marque notre époque de façon pérenne de son oeil d'esthète.
