The Breathe of Forgotten Ponds of the Ponds

There are places that seem to breathe with the Earth itself - places where time lingers, where silence becomes a voice, and where nature offers a kind of quiet grandeur that asks nothing and gives everything. La Dombes is one of those rare places. A secret land of a thousand ponds, nestled in the heart of France, largely unknown, yet deeply alive.

With "The Breath of Forgotten Ponds", I invite you to step into this intimate, untamed world - not through a traditional lens, but through a poetic and powerful vision in deep black and white.

Each image in this collection is a journey, a meditation, a pause in the hurried flow of life. I did not seek to document La Dombes as it is seen, but rather as it is felt. This is a personal and creative interpretation of a wild landscape that has long captivated me. I wanted to honor its quiet magnificence, its ever-changing skies, and its endlessly unique ponds - each one with its own character, its own mood, its own soul.

These waters are never still. Even in calmness, they shift - reflecting the sky, distorting the light, whispering old secrets. In every pond, I see a presence. Some feel melancholic, others radiant; some are open to the world, others retreat into shadow. Like ancient mirrors, they invite us to look - not only outward, but inward.

I chose black and white as a deliberate gesture - not to remove color, but to amplify emotion. The deep shadows and luminous highlights carve each scene like sculpture, allowing form, contrast, and movement to take center stage. The result is bold and impactful, yet delicate and refined. Each photograph becomes a world unto itself - large, dramatic, yet profoundly peaceful.

At the heart of this collection lies another protagonist: the clouds. They are not simply elements of the sky; they are expressive, unpredictable, alive. In La Dombes, the clouds dance, brood, stretch, and billow. They speak in shapes and silences. I made them central to my compositions, allowing their voices to guide the atmosphere of each frame. They become metaphors - of change, of impermanence, of dreams.

The compositions themselves are meant to be wide and immersive, echoing the grandeur of classical painting, but through a photographic lens. Each scene invites the viewer to enter, to wander visually and emotionally, to feel both the vastness and the intimacy of these forgotten waters. The framing is precise, the geometry intentional, and yet the images breathe - like the ponds they portray.

What unites these images is not only their aesthetic but the deep passion that led me to create them. I wanted to offer more than beauty - I wanted to offer a presence, a communion with a region often overlooked, yet full of quiet wonders. La Dombes is not a postcard. It is a poem. And through this collection, I hope to give it voice.

"The Breath of Forgotten Ponds" is a tribute - to the landscapes that shaped me, to the skies that continue to inspire me, and to the silence that teaches us how to see. It is an offering, both artistic and emotional, to those who feel the pull of nature's stillness, its mystery, and its grace. Let your eyes wander. Let the black and white speak. Let yourself be carried by the breath of these forgotten ponds.
