Hubert BARRE

I started photography in 1986 as a photographer in the press service of the armies in Berlin. First investigations around the wall, passing by Check Point Charlie. First exhibitions, and also first photographic encounters with Jean-Claude Lemagny, BNF; Georges Vercheval, Charleroi Photography Museum; Didier Régnier, France 2. Then a lot of exhibitions, selections from festivals; Bessèges, appointment of the image in Strasbourg, photographic meetings of Chabeuil, and, selected and projected in the nights of OFF, festival Voies-OFF Arles cours de l’archevêché in 2016. I continue my journey through photography by publications in magazines. I also do training at the National School of Photography in Arles with François Deladerrière, Lila Neutre, Christine Sibran, Christophe Laloi, Anne-Sophie Tritschler, Lise Dua, Olivier Sarrazin, 4 years for a better approach to photography contemporary. Also represented by the audacious gallery of Geneva. What I like: Diane Arbus, Malik Sidibé, Irwin Penn, Duane Michals. The street inspires me, the portrait also, to be able to also freeze a sequence, but also to contemplate before photographing, a moment of life……
