Toutes les
photos sont des tirages artisanaux, sur papier baryté, réalisés par
l'auteur.
Ses photographies ne revendiquent rien. Elles SONT.
En fait, elles témoignent d'une réalité qui a toujours existé et qui
existera toujours, du puissant au mystérieux élan qui porte un être
vers un autre,
du désir...
Proche du milieu gay, Yves Paradis s'est toujours tenu à l'écart des
modes successives et des clichés. Ce qui donne à son travail, de
facture classique, une touche d'universalité et d'intemporalité. |

Yves Paradis was born in Brittany (France) in 1955, to
farming family. He discovered his passion for photography as a teenager
at school, were he started taking pictures of his friends. At the end
of the seventies, he began to compose pictures of the guys that he
encountered. His work has been published in France (Gai Pied), Italy
(Babilonia), and Germany.
In 1991 an English Editor, Aubrey Walter, published a collection of his
photographs entitled " Joie de vivre", now out of print.
Although close to the gay community, his work is always free from
clichés and fashion. This is why his pictures remain so universal and
timeless.
At the beginning of the nineties, he stopped taking pictures and
started to individually print his compositions on traditional
photographie paper. This is why every one of his photographs is
original and unique. |
