Conceptual and architectural photography, "noli timere" is my last production of the year 2021. Entitled “do not be afraid” in Latin, it finds its inspiration in the image of the narrow door taken from the Gospel according to Saint Matthew. The transition from darkness to light is a recurring theme in my work and I wanted this image to emphasize the feeling that darkness can give us. The voluntary game of symmetry, almost psychedelic mirror effect, invites us to dare to feel this space.
Pierre Belenfant, french photographer currently living in Tours (France). My vision is based on an aesthetic and philosophical sensitivity for black and white. Most of my photographies are characterised by strong contrasts and deep blacks with an enigmatic and dark atmosphere.
