Gerald Leroy-Terquem

Gérald LEROY-TERQUEM Psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and since my adolescence, photography has been an art of renewal for me. Perceiving beauty in all its forms, in all seasons: water, flowers, orchids, irises, trees, clouds, landscapes, are among my favorite subjects. PHOTOGRAPHING: writing with light. Indeed, it occupies a privileged place in my work. First of all, daylight: direct or veiled sun, gray or blue sky, backlighting or direct light, sun reflecting on petals or on the surface of water, softness and contrast, sharp and blurred, black and white, shadows and lights... are the very substance of my photography. I have thus acquired a great sensitivity to the vibrations of the object, whose magnificence I joyfully restore. A mystical quest, an inner experience in this magical encounter between the object and myself. A magic to which I wish to invite those who contemplate my works.
