Bertrand Desprez
French photographer born in 1963, based in Paris (France)
Graduated of the Ecole Louis Lumière (Paris), Bertrand Desprez reconciles through photography two radically opposed aspirations that inhabit him: on the one hand, a desire for freedom and unfettered solitude, on the other, the need for an anchor, a reassuring shore. The photographic work he has been developing for more than 30 years thus questions, with subtlety and elegance, the relationship between man and his environment.
After his first personal works on the jazz scene in the 80’s, he acquired the recognition of the profession with his series “Pour quelques étoiles“, a long-term survey drawing, in black and white, a fragile and sensitive portrait of teenagers in France.
