In the latest edition of The Eye of Photography Magazine, there was a feature on Yan Morvan’s captivating photographs. Yan’s work has been showcased in various locations such as Arles, Paris Photo, and Visa in Perpignan, among others.
One striking aspect of Yan’s photographs is the abundance of smiles captured in his images. Unlike typical portrait photography where people smile at the camera, in Yan’s photos, the smiles are directed at him, not just his lens. This unique connection between Yan and his subjects is evident in the genuine and heartfelt smiles he is able to capture.
As a photographer, it is often said that a portrait of a sitter is also a portrait of the photographer themselves. In Yan’s case, these smiles are a reflection of his own joy and passion for his craft. Each smile in his photographs represents a moment of connection and shared happiness between Yan and the person in front of his camera.
Regardless of where these photos were taken, whether in bustling cities or quiet villages, Yan’s love for his subjects shines through in every image. His ability to capture the essence of a person’s smile is a testament to his skill and artistry behind the camera.
As I reflect on the memories of our last meeting over drinks, I am reminded of the warmth and camaraderie that Yan exudes in his work. His upcoming visit to New York promises to be a delightful reunion, filled with shared stories and laughter. Here’s to Yan and his incredible talent in capturing smiles that light up the frame.
In conclusion, Yan Morvan’s photographs are more than just images on paper – they are windows into moments of joy and connection. Through his lens, he brings out the best in his subjects and creates a lasting memory of shared happiness. Cheers to Yan and his remarkable ability to capture the beauty of a smile.
