William Guilmain

I was born in France.
My first love was poetry but I got the feeling that words were not good enough to express all I wanted to say.
When I was 20 years old I discovered photography through the pictures of Raymond Depardon, Jean-Lou Sieff and Sebastien Salgado. I loved so much these black and white pictures !
I got my first camera and so far I never stoped to take pictures of the persons and things around me.
I try to "mix" photography and poetry. I like to tell stories. I like to show the magic of the small things around me. I would like to catch the soul but without using artificial phostoshop effects or constructions. The only "effects" that you would see on my pictures are done by smart setting on the camera and imagination.
One of my main project is called "Urban Women" where I am questioning the place of women in the city.
In my aesthetic approach I try to integrate the body of women in the architecture. I am looking for a kind of connection beetwen both.
Am I a portrait photographer ?
Am I a landscape photographer ?
Am I a dancing photographer ?
Maybe a mix of all of that....
