honorable mention
Thibault Roland united states
title
Life Line
Long exposure shots (4 to 8 minutes each) that combine tilt and shift movements, taken in Maine, USA.
Most of his work shows a world in black and white. Not only because he has grown a passion for monochrome and classical photography, but also because he considers stripping a picture off its colors is not a restriction. It is rather a way for him to dissociate his work from reality, create a new world of opportunities and emotions, and bring up the beauty of an atmosphere, a situation, a detail or an abstract vision that most people would dismiss.
In order to step further away from reality and bring the viewer into a new and ethereal world, he also developed approaches that combine exposure times of five to ten minutes long with the precise control and introduction of blur in some of his work, making it both singular and unique.
Thibault is a member of the Sony sponsoring program and an "Artisan of Imagery".
