Photographer Vincent Bousserez. Plastic life of little people in a big world | Vincent Bousserez. “Plastic Life” (107 photos)
Photographer Vincent Boucherez was born in 1973, lives and works in Paris. As a child, he was passionate about drawing, so he did a lot of it at school. At the age of 23, he began taking his first photographs while traveling around Morocco and brought several albums with photographs from there. He was self-taught and spent all his time drawing and photographing. But this gave him the opportunity to hone his skills, experience the art of photography, and learn to “seize the moment.”
The series of photographs “Plastic Life” is a set of small figures whose heroes are among the things that surround us every day. When photographing, the author uses macro photography, because otherwise good photographs cannot be achieved - the distance between the lens and tiny objects is very small. Thus, he enters a world completely opposite, but so similar to his own and to ours. Each photo is a separate work - somewhere funny, somewhere romantic, somewhere realistic, illustrating our life. Here you can see a huge variety of professions, life events and situations that each of us found ourselves in, sports, and hobbies.
Surprisingly, there is nothing extraordinary among the photographic objects! Only things and plants surrounding us. Here you can see toilet paper, paints, cups, clothes, candles, flowers, and pine cones... You can approach this type of art in different ways, but to create such mini-works, you need to try very hard. Here, imagination should be present, and the ability to use a camera, and the necessary things at hand, although there is no need to worry about the latter - as we can see, the simplest things are used here.
