entry description
For the first time I went to the Palace of Versailles, I was immediately amazed by the gildings of the Galery of Great Battles, a historic gallery created by Louis-Philippe. Processing a photograph of gilding in black and white is almost paradoxical. Even if I try to find the right shades of gray, there is always an element of mystery with black and white.about the photographer
Pierre Belenfant, french photographer currently living in Tours (France). My vision is based on an aesthetic and philosophical sensitivity for black and white. Most of my photographies are characterised by strong contrasts and deep blacks with an enigmatic and dark atmosphere.back to gallery
