He had always harboured a great love of photography but only picked up his first camera in 2015. Since then he has pounded the streets and found his passion for seeing and capturing incidental moments of London life that speak to us with humour, sadness and surprise.

InFocus Interview with
Eve MATTHYS by Gerri McLaughlin

Please could you tell us a little bit about yourself to start with Passionate, straightforward, eager, loving life and still believing in human beings. Could you share with us how you first became interested in photography ? The first real interests rose up during my travels in Asia and more pre-cisely in Cambodia: I felt shocked, out of sync and sad. No matter what, I had to transcribe those feeling that overwhelmed me. The camera came as the most natural way to share those emotions and show how deeply those men and women touched my heart. This process gave birth to my first portraits.
“
My approach to street photography is to keep everything open under any circumstances. I‘m definitely avoiding to get locked into a frame, in a style of photography. Therein lies my freedom

Interview with Eve, I've browsed through your fantastic work and found you shoot in both colour and black & white, do you have certain themes for colour and for black & white or is it a shot by shot process? The black and white process allows me, for some pictures, to convey more emotion, and on top of that, the picture gains an “out of time� feel-ing. This brings the viewer to come up with more questions about his comprehension of the photo while the color bring more emphasis on subject and, in a way, blow up what we mean to show with the photo.
12
h Eve Matthys There’s a very strong sense of intimate and personal connection in your work, is that something you aim for? Yes of course, it allows me to immortalize the emotion that is given to me, offered to me, and the exchange between me and the person I just met in the street. They all offer me a wonderful gift. That connection is essential and it also may be the reason why I take few stolen pictures!

Interview with You also work a lot with the homeless and street people of Brussels how did that begin for you? I had been living for 4 years in Asia and returning to Europe was painful. It was a bit of a flashback, a regression? Through the streets of Brus-sels, I searched for the same intensity that had overwhelmed me. Meet-ing and portraying the homeless quickly came to me as an obvious path. These people have no restraints, they are real, straightforward, they do not cheat. You take them as what they are or you don’t. That’s all! I sat by them, listened to them and they are definitely the ones who gave me my greatest life lesson! In each encounter, for brief a moment, I try to give them back what they offered me by taking their hands in mine and comforting them, by sharing some of this wasted heat, by giving back some meaning and sense of being to their identity through asking their name and telling their story. It’s a very emotional exchange!
16
h Eve Matthys There are some incredibly soulful photos in your gallery where your subjects are looking straight into the camera. How much do you interact with your subjects to get the kind of reaction? Many people asked this question and it is not simple to answer. For the homeless, I do spend a lot of time with them, sometimes it’s a matter of several meeting for complicity must be installed before the first shot. For the others, it is just the opposite. Everything must be done very swiftly so that nobody has time to notice the camera. If one does notices the camera, then this shot loses its natural feeling.

Interview with How is it shooting of the streets of Brussels these days and has it changed since you began shooting there? Things inevitably change, but what was there before still remains. With the terrible events we have experienced recently in Europe it may be more difficult because people are even more self centred. We live in a world which everyday becomes a bit more individualistic and it’s a pity! Do you think there are different challenges as a woman street photog-rapher? No, advantage and disadvantage are present for both genres. Men and women are just different. How would you best describe your themes in Street Photography? My approach to street photography is to keep everything open under any circumstances. I’m definitely avoiding to get locked into a frame, in a style of photography. Therein lies my freedom. The emotion is the one and only constraint that I naturally impose on myself in photography...

Interview with Have you ever taken a photograph which affected your emotional balance in a deep way? My work is related to the homeless people or children in Asia. Those children who were seeking fortune and food deep into a garbage hill. It was shocking, unbearable and once I was back home, under my roof top, the feeling of anger and frustration would often make me cry... But I keep on with those photos because my main purpose is to try to slightly change the point of view of people on this difficult subject, to scratch the comfortable indifference which with time, we all settle into. Has your style of shooting changed since you first started? Yes indeed, each time I dive into the street to shoot, I learn again and again... Who are you favourite photographers ? Any one who influenced your work and style? Lee Jeffries for his amazing work with the homeless people, his sensitiv-ity. A few months ago I was lucky enough to meet him. Through our in-teractions we came to realize we share the same feelings and the same frustrations. In my view, he’s a fantastic photographer and an incredible human being. Alex Webb’s photos are just beyond imagination. There’s nothing miss-ing. He’s really a model, a master for me. Frédéric Moreau de Bellaing, a Belgian photographer and friend on the same level than these two monsters with a love for the light; impressive. He’s my wandering, meeting and discovering of this year. How much does your equipment help you to execute your artistic vision and what kind of equipment are you using? I have a Sony A77 II with a single lens a Sigma 17-70 mm 2.8 Macro.

Interview with Are there any special projects you’re working on currently which you would like to introduce here? To finalize my work on homeless people and to create an exhibition. It is close to my heart. I’m also thinking of travelling in Africa because it’s a continent where I have not yet been and I may someday have the pos-sibility to go in a war country unless the world would change : then I would just go shooting the smiles of the people! Last but not least the Big Question what is Street Photography for you?
A great way to show others daily, sometimes touching, sometimes fun-ny, tender or off-beat.

EIKOH HOSOE “BARAKEI” - A PORTRAIT OF YUKIO MISHIMA Born in 1933, Eikoh Hosoe spent his childhood in a Japan destroyed by the war. The avant-garde photographers of his generation, torn between nationalist authoritarianism and the opening of an equally seductive vanquishing West, in one way or another, witnessed everything from the collapsing of traditions to the Japanese millennial supremacy. Their emancipation came through the bringing together of collectives such as Jūninno-Me in 1956-57 and VIVO at the beginning of the 1960s, but equally through numerous interdisciplinary exchanges. Following on from his meet-up with the charismatic theatre creator Butoh Tatsumi Hijikata, Hosoe became known from 1961 for his superbly crafted book – Man and Woman – which transcends the boundaries of erotic art through its graphic over dramatization. Then, in 1963, Hosoe created the album Barakei – Killed by Roses with Yukio Mishima which put the scandalous author in the spotlight and lifted the photographer to immediate international notoriety. In Barakei, Mishima, always stripped bare, is alternatively captured in the kitschy gold setting of his home in Tokyo and in Hijikata’s deserted dance studio. The other shots pay tribute to his love for European Renaissance painting, and, in particular his very sensual iconography of the martyr Saint Sebastian. Barakei is an erotic and morbid fable that is well known due to its provocative allusion to Mishima’s homosexuality and the despair of an immensly erudite author who refused the decline of his country and of his body. Barakei is incontestably Eikoh Hosoe’s masterpiece. The work of Eikoh Hosoe was displayed in Arles at the exhibition ‘‘Pas de deux, Kazuo Ono’’ by Eikoh Hosoe and William Klein, 4 July – 28 August at the Chapelle Saint-Martin du Méjan, Arles. The exhibition will play a part in Photo Saint Germain – the photography festival situated on the left bank of the Seine from the 4 – 20 November 2016. la galerie eric mouchet, Contemporary Art in the Heart of Saint-Germain-Des-Prés Having collected artwork for a long time, Eric Mouchet fulfilled his passion for sharing what he knew by opening up his own gallery dedicated to contemporary art in Autumn 2014. An expert in graphic arts for the Appeal Court of Paris and a specialist of Le Corbusier’s drawing work, Eric Mouchet proposes a varied contemporary program, occasionally based on artists whose work he has himself collected for a number of years. Selected for the rigour, suitability and poetry of their work, these artists, from geographically diverse origins, express themselves through all different mediums, from more traditional to most current. Witnessing the potential of Saint Germain-des-Près – an area at the heart of the historical cultural centre of Paris – Eric Mouchet set up his gallery located at 45 rue Jacob in order to contribute to the culturally thriving contemporary art scene on the left bank of the Seine.

Born
in 1983. Based in Poland. Started to take photography more seriously in August 2015. Interested in human element / urban / street photography. Looking for light, colors, contrast, interesting point of views. Searching for my own style and trying to make the best of every single day. I like to experiment with shutter speed and colors. I am interested in the human element and its interaction with the urban environment. I started to shoot on everyday basis in August 2015 when I started my 365 Days Project which I stopped after 245 days actually. I am in the process of developing my own style, so my shots were inspired by various photographers, situations, people, places or even music that I listen to. I try to find inspiration in everyday life. I don’t need London, New York or Tokyo to do Urban/Street Photography, I am sastisfied with whatever place I am in. I strongly believe that you can find amazing photo opportunities ANYWHERE. The same applies to photo equipment – I use one point and shoot camera – FUJI X100t and I am more than sure that camera that you use, lens that you crave, tons of photo equipment gathered in your closet can only distract you from what is the most important – showing the world with your own eyes and camera is just a tool, it is still your eye, nobody else’s eye.

The love for photography came spontaneously. Ever since I discovered my aspiration towards visual expression, many years ago, I partnered with my camera on this eternal journey of exploring the world through the lens and additionally empowered through various professional programs such Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop. Today I strive constantly for capturing the glimpse of what I like to call style photography and art still life. In my opinion, for a good photo is crucial what the photographer wants to convey with the photography. I like color photography, but prefer black and white, at the end it all depends of the motive.

I
am Manish Jaisi, a self-taught, Delhi(India) based photographer. An
environmentalist by degree but a photographer by heart. Taking inspiration from my father, I ventured into the world of photography three years back. My journey started out with a film camera a Zenit 12 XP full manual, which helped me learn the basics, but it was getting a digital SLR camera, a Canon 600D that really gave me the freedom to shoot. Starting out I was fascinated towards nature and macro, but now I have graduated to taking photographs that tells a reality. My favourite subjects to shoot are streets, people and places. I give more emphasis towards the human element in my work. I now see the daily life in a different way trying to include a human element in my photographs. Photography for me has been my identity, people know me through my work. It is now more than a hobby or a passion, it has become a way of life. Photography has helped me out to express myself to the world, it has been my power. Been based in Delhi, I am constantly capturing the different vibes and moods of this city. I love exploring the streets of this city. Therefore, a bigger part of my work includes pictures from this city. I like to portray emotions and stories from the streets of Delhi in my photographs. My favourite lens to shoot is the 50 mm, or the nifty-fifty as photographers call it. It’s my go to lens and I have trained myself to look in way a 50 mm lens does. Around 80% of my shots are taken with a 50 mm lens. I also own a couple of old school manual lenses a 58mm helios f/2, and a 135 mm f/3.5 . Though wedding

I was born in 1969.
And although I am now closing in on fifty and have had cameras since I was ten, photography has mainly been about vacations and the family album. Sure enough I have tried hard to shoot really nice pictures, but it stopped there. I rarely shot for the sake of photography, and hardly ever worked with the images after they were taken. At the same time, in my daily job as a marketer I work a lot with images, more specifically computer generated images of cars, but rather from a generalist and management perspective than from a creative view. So, photography has been lurking in the shadows for a long, long time and when an acquaintance introduced me to street photography during a trip to Copenhagen in early 2016 things just fell right into place. I think it is that wide array of aspects that makes “street” so interesting. The thrill of going candid. The uncertainty, did I get it? The accessibility, no studio, models are everywhere, weather doesn’t matter. You can make it highly advanced if you want to, but really all you need is a camera of some sort.
My camera is a standard big, noisy Canon 70D but as soon as I fell for street photography I realized I wanted to lose the zoom and go for a smaller, less intimidating 24 mm pancake lens. Working in Lightroom to really bring forth a story is just as beneficial to me as shooting the images. Much of my development of images is about the story they can bring, so I mostly do black and white, since it clears out a lot of the clutter in the images and brings out the quintessence. I like the genre because I don’t have full control, I can observe, reinforce and channel what I see onwards to someone else, but it is for them to interpret. My hope is that the viewer will find their own stories in my images. Like the dude that you can barely see through the window of the no.8 tram. What’s he doing there? Why the sunglasses? Hiding, running, maybe pursuing? Was he even there when I took the shot? I like these types of images. The kind were you find more as you start looking closer.
87
Photo Review wit As a ”newbie” street photographer I pretty much just focus on getting out into the street. But I have noticed that much of what I’ve done so far entails shapes, lines and architecture, and how I try to use these to frame the subject in the image. The no.8 image probably pulls together and defines a lot of how I photograph currently. Very very framed. In this case both by the tram, by the window, and the reflected electrical wires that frame the guy’s head. Lines of lightbulbs lead towards the subject whom you may or even may not see at a first, but when you do the image starts
moving
from
nice
to interesting and the story begins to shape around it. But, I don’t want to get stuck in a certain format, so I am trying to stay diverse and focus even more on the human element, like situations and getting closer to people instead of dead things. And seek more humorous situations. “dude on no. 8”

Joshua Going was born and raised in Saco, Maine. At 19, Joshua moved to San Francisco, California to pursue his Photography degree. This was an incredibly impactful time in his life. After completing his Associates, Joshua decided to make a daring move back to the East Coast. Joshua currently resides in Brooklyn where he’s diving head first into the commercial and art world. Joshua thrives by putting himself out of his comfort zone. Whether by exploring new places, new people, or new subjects in his work, Joshua takes challenges in stride. He seeks out new environments and styles in order to create innovative imagery. Versatility is an understatement when describing Joshua and his work, and routine and repetition will never be a part of this artist’s work or lifestyle. Because of this versatility, Joshua flourishes as both a fine art and commercial photographer. Joshua is eager to learn all aspects of photography through first hand experience, and has chosen not to limit himself to one specific area. Joshua’s portfolio is evidence of his multi¬faceted nature, and to specialize would only limit him from creating a wide range of very successful work.

Work statement The passage of time has always fascinated and intrigued Andrew G Fisher. Unchangeable and inevitable, a seemingly abstract concept which has confounding effects on every aspect of life. The work from his first two series, Forgotten Corners and Beside the Seaside, seek to identify the relationship between time, place and people; how one inevitably affects the others. Artist Bio Analogue photography has always been at the heart of Andrews work. Sometimes photographs are all that are needed; sometimes he reacts to the photographs to create more. He is self-taught and determined in his approach to produce work with integrity and meaning.

Chris Lavaud is a french photographer currently based in Toulouse in south west France. He practiced photography since his 12th birthday when his family gave him his first Canon AE1 with its objective 50mm f/1.8. The magic of creation by the image hit him immediately and this passion has never left him. He has working for many years in graphic design; he uses his camera 24 x 36 at any occasion and accumulates the contact sheets and other slides. Today he devotes all his time to photography by travelling in Europe to photograph the human in life, the street photography mainly and the photojournalism punctually.
117
Photo Review w Chris Lavaud about his approach to street photography: “My photographic journey full time is recent, three years, but I practiced photography for many years. My inspiration, without any hesitation, is the work of the greatest photojournalists and specialists of street photography. They inspired me and still inspire me today as James Nachtwey, Philip Jones Griffiths and recently Jacob Aue Sobol, Alex Majoli and Paolo Pellegrin who are responsible for my passion. Their involvement in conflict zones to account and visually witness the reality of life worldwide recreate extraordinary images, strong and often difficult. In addition, the excellent initiation terrain of street photography inspires my photos today, with the mentor, Robert Frank, Saul Leiter, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand and many others... Photography for me is a meaning of expression an artistic creation in a fleeting moment and I can also simply witness a scene or a moment of life. The picture makes an immediate reflection of one moment in a specific place. It’s amazing. Shooting life is my main engine. When I shoot I try to anticipate the result. My aim is to show the world around us as it appears to me - people in their daily lives - simple. It gives me pleasure to capture the simplest moments as well as the most extraordinary things but also the most enjoyable or the toughest. I try to be as close to the action as I can, always having Robert Capa’s words in mind, like a leitmotiv: “If your pictures are not good enough, then you are not close enough.” Then there are parameters like light and darkness to consider, they are essential for intensity high contrast images are strong. Finally, I would say that the decisive moment, not to miss the shoot, like in photojournalism, is the most crucial thing of shooting on street! Adrenaline is also part of it and it allows me to multiply my concentration and my creativity.”
