Louis Gaillard - Biography
« Transparency as a way of transcending the first nature of the photographed objects. »
Born in France 49 years ago, Louis Gaillard developed a unique glance. His work mainly deals with light in every possible way.
Therefore, burning paper goes alongside to the transparency of plastic, the brightness of day, and the reflection of a lamp in a liquid. Being completely self-taught, Louis Gaillard sees in transparency a way of transcending the first nature of the photographed objects. Lightness then becomes a new deal for all his highly visual works.
Moreover, he gives a kind of life to objects by bringing them into light, and brands such as Lacoste or magazines.
