Images & Text By Nicolas Boulet

Street photographer, street photographer, documentary photographer, yes, why not… Most of the time when I photograph the urban environment that is closest to me, I post myself in the same places, I like repetition, I like to return like a criminal of the image to the places of my captures…

And then, very quickly, I steer, I track, I smell, I evaluate, I estimate, I sew the faces along the streets to the tiles of buildings, concrete, the siege of a bridge above their silhouettes; I viscerally have an attraction for… And I rather leave my body at work, my hand without a gaze rather than my eyes to take the photos because my black universe is the blind spot under my retina. I prefer his unconsciousness to the reason for eye constructions. This landscape is more of a fantasized urban repertoire, through the underexposure and chiaroscuro of the shots, referring to the culture of American street photography.

Presents

Photography & Philosophy

The freezing of a moment is a magical event. Images can make us feel love, rage and every sensation in between.

Photographers, whether partial or impartial to their subject matter, consume a massive amount of insight. Their participation cannot be substituted nor replicated. The moment is gone! The experiences will live in their minds and those encounters are immortalized in their photographs.

Edge of Humanity Magazine’s ‘Photography & Philosophy’ series will bring together the art and the mind of these fantastic creators.

If you would like to participate, please contact the editor jo@edgeofhumanity.com for more details.
