Christophe Bonnière is a fine art photographer of people, nudes
and landscapes, which are then printed on silk or canvas.
Christophe Bonnière works with a view camera, a replica of an old model from 1900 using real 10,5 cm by 12,5 cm gelatin silver film.
Christophe develops his own photographs using emulsions, such as silver gelatin, which he makes himself.
His exhibition People of Ariège is a nostalgic series of portraits of the people from his ancestral home. Colourful, solid and frank people who lived in the mountains practicing agriculture, who loved a stiff drink of pastis and a good laugh!
Those times are now long gone. The modernization of life and society just does not produce the same old characters.
