My artist: Eric Lafforgue
Personal Background: Eric is a french photographer. When he was 10 years old he followed in Joseph Kessel’s footsteps. He soon decided to take pictures of all the wonders he saw around the world. He then decided to go to North America to take pictures of the waters and beautiful landscape. He also went to Africa to take many portraits of the tribes of people that live there.
Style: Eric likes to take photos of people and places from all over the world. Many of his photos have a cool meaning behind them. They each tell a story either about the past or the present. Eric says he doesn’t really have a style. At first he liked taking landscape photographs but then it slowly elevated to taking portraits of many different people.
Philosophy: Eric believes that there is beauty everywhere he said “The other thing is that the more I travel, the less I believe in a quiet and good world for everybody.” He wants everyone to see how many different religions and ethnic groups there are in this world.
Influences: Eric was influenced by far away countries and traveling. As a child he always dreamed of traveling around the world. He also spent time in africa as a young child which encouraged him to capture what he saw. He then started to travel to different countries to capture the beauty that was there. He was not influenced by another person. He just had a lot of inspiration when he traveled.
