My photograph represents symbols of what I think and feel

Photographing helps me express my ideas about the passage of time and the inevitability of death

Hello, I'm xavier

When I started taking more personal photos at the age of 17 I knew very few photographers. The only photographer whose work I had seen at the time was the French photographer Lucien Clergue. I was especially drawn to his work which he titled “The language of the sands”. I saw in this serie the idea that a photo could show something that is familiar to us in a different way, which was exactly what I was looking for.

A few years later I discovered the work of Edward Weston who is the photographer who influenced me the most.
