Photo Review with photographer Gerard DUBOIS , Toulon, France
In our fourth issue of our "featured photographer review", we are taking a look to the photographic work of Gerard Dubois.
His photographic visions is characterised by vivid colors and powerful contrasts as well as his sense to realize the quintessence of the moment and capture it perfectly well.
Gerard was born 1951 in Toulon, France , studied in Nice University( french Riviera ) Literature and psychology. He became a teacher, worked in his home town and 12 years in foreign countries like in the USA ( Louisiana state ), Colombia and Uruguay as a french teacher and director of Alliance Française).
He started photography in his teenager with a basic reflex camera, a russian Zenith with a 50 mm lens and then with a Nikon F. He is using a Nikon D600 and a Fuji X100S now.
Photography is a passion and a hobby especially street photography, Gerard says. He consider himself as a witness showing the world and society he is living in, trying to put a bit of humor and a bit of poetry in his work, looking for strange situations and strong or beautiful faces and characters on street.
