WUHAN, AU FIL DES JOURS

Wuhan, as days go by.

A series of 24 colour photographs about the city of Wuhan (Hubei, CHINA).

 

"Wuhan est une ville à peine plus petite que Paris, au cœur de la Chine.

Résidant dans un campus universitaire en périphérie rurale et travaillant en centre-ville, le transit quotidien entre la banlieue et le centre m’a permis de découvrir les multiples facettes de cette agglomération qui m’a laissé une trace indélébile.

Cette série réunit des clichés accumulés au cours d’une année, pris dans des quartiers très différents entre 2006 et 2007.

Il ne s’agit aucunement ici de faire découvrir Wuhan à travers une collection de cartes postales mais plutôt de dresser un portrait du quotidien des vies croisées : partager les couleurs, les odeurs et le rythme d’une ville chinoise, entre ruralité et urbanisme."

 

Toutes ces photos sont disponibles à la vente en tirages sur papier d'art,

signées et numérotées par l'auteur.

    Hi, I am replying to the duckrabbt blog.

    Your photo's are beautiful. Sensitive and contemplative.

    As a set of 24, they are not enough to tell a strong sense of narrative but I bet you have more. This looks like a series of magic moments and what I do like, is the variety of visual distances and angles. The shot from the top down for example.

    "A day in the life" is a lovely way to show images in an editorial format but there needs to be a cohesive narrative to bring them to life.

    What I mean is this: You have 2 images with the same basketball court. This gives the impression that you have a huge amount of images from the same place somewhere. Use them as a series of sub stories. Give the initial block of 24 some depth by focusing how people live. You have public transport images (bus), fashion (shoes), pollution (girl covering mouth), leisure time (snooker tables)

    The 24 image story is dead. But that is not to say that 24 images cannot be the gateway to more. How about using the 24 here as a gateway to another 24? So you click on the first images and you reveal the sub story that has 24 images.

    Each sub story with its own sense of social purpose?

    Then you encourage the viewer to click in - rather skim the 24? People only produce 24 images a story because that is the current convention. This is the thinking of a geo, national geographic, time magazine layout. Why does this need to be the case today?

    I am working on a project about China. I am using over 100 images. Maybe we can work together sometime in a broader web project about China. Find some more photojournalists who have done work and collaborate. Together we can say more about the story if we remove the cult of the individual photojournalist!!

    I hope none of this is presumptuous of me - thanks for showing me where these images are and I enjoyed them.

    Thank you for you post in duckrabbit.
