“In July 2011, when I proposed to Guillaume Herbaut to make this book, I already imagined it as a long conversation about his career, from his first photographic emotions to his author’s vision. Why him? Because Guillaume Herbaut was born in 1970 and is one of those photojournalists who contribute to the renewal of contemporary documentary photography. Why a conversation? Because it is a form of narrative accessible to the greatest number of people that allows us to go in depth and to the heart of an author’s approach. The idea is to highlight as much as to analyze the choices and biases that have presided over the making of his photographs throughout his career. A testimony that has educational value for all those interested in the image. The aim is to record the word of a photographer of the new documentary movement belonging to this generation that came with the crisis that saw the transition to digital and the arrival of the Internet, that had to face the mutation of the press and the media in general, and that conceives photography as a work that has its place in museums and galleries. »
