TEXT IN FRENCH   

…But enough talking. Christian Ramade’s photography speaks for itself, speaking as it does as much to the eye as to the heart.

Somewhere in the South, Provence or Italy, Moracco or Tunisia, Christian Ramade isolates a place, a moment, some colors, and offers them to us as a gift. The panoramic eye is generous. The gaze is that of an epicurian photographer who turns his image into the shared pleasure of truly seeing. No passerbys in these pieces of reality, rare and genuine as though each were a secular icon. But the light – daylight, nightlight – contains the invisible traces of a life preceeding the image. And the vibration of colors is the promise of other life after photography’s stolen moment.
