About Damien Grillat

I live in Nimes (Southern France), where I am a network engineer and amateur photographer for three years. I practice photography as a hobby (which takes me more and more time I must say). I started with an ordinary digital camera to take pictures of anything and everything, probably to keep small pieces of my life as soon as possible. I will not be the first nostalgic to engage in photography to leave behind him some traces of his passage … Subsequently, hobby has become passion, I bought my first DSLR (Nikon D3000) just before a big trip to Mauritius, to be sure I can make me happy as I wished. Playing with the light becomes a revelation, I finally found a way of sharing that I missed, the way to share the beauty of the world (at least what touches me in my surroundings) in the best way. It's a bit later, with my Nikon D7000, shooting in black and white essentially, that I fall in love with this art. I finally feel able to transcribe my vision as accurately as possible, playing with contrasts, shadows, textures and shapes. In short, I realize that color affects me very little, this will influence the future of my work …
