The sickly plants within our greenhouses provide but a weak image of the majesty of tropical vegetation. But in the refinement of our language, in the incandescent imagination of the poet, in the depictive art of the painter there open rich wellsprings of compensation.

From this, the power of our imagination creates a living picTure of exotic Nature.

In the cold of the North, in the starkness of the heath, the lone individual can acquire for himself that which is being explored in the most distant latitudes, and thus create within himself a world that is the work of, and is as free and immortal as, his own spirit.

Alexander Von Humboldt

Views of Nature, 1808

Flavie Guerrand photographs those close to her in their electric and sexy drifts from snapshots of modern life to party pics.

A decadent youth galvanized by nightlife, both strong, wild and fragile.

Intimate portraits witnessing impulses of life and letting go.

There is desire, adrenaline, excess and frustration, sometimes loneliness.

Her attitude and lifestyle inform her technique and work -playground of her scopic impulses. Intimacy is as much an inspiration as it is the trigger, where consent and trust allow for the liberation of the subjects. The diaristic approach that characterizes her photographs let her to capture their beauty and erotic aura, their vulnerability and their strength. Blurred, moving, grainy appearance, ambient light, reflects the sensations perceived, the spirit of the moment and brings the viewer closer to conditions of the shooting.
