Theatrical splendor – Ludovic Baron Photography, Paris

With a handy electronic device nowadays, almost anyone can practice to be a photographer, taking pictures with your preference and style, then share your vision instantly to the world just an ‘upload’ button away. I believe in each photograph (and even art) there is a message, either is about a state-of-mind of one taking that photo in that particular moment, or, a deep thought from one’s soul, a wordless message that sometimes open to different interpretations by whoever looks at it or read it. Personally, one of my favorite pose for a photo, is taking it with my back when my face was looking at the background just the same direction as the camera lens does. At first most of my friends didn’t understand that at all what’s behind this concept, except for one that said that it looks like a Magritte painting. Interestingly, to me, I like the mystery and questions towards the subject in the photo is about, like what he’s thinking when he’s there? What kind of mood or emotion was he? What’s the story behind that? These are the things that makes a photo much interesting and having people to try to decode the idea without showing a facial expression. I recently came across a very intriguing photographer, who perhaps understands this concept in a much profound level than me, with his superb photographic and artistic skills, which produces a series of magnificent and splendid photography art that caught my eyes. Paris based artistic photographer, Mr. Ludovic Baron, could possible be the one who professionally and artistically captures the most sublime and majestic photos with the back of the subject (even with their front of course).

Among all the splendid collection of Ludovic’s work, there are a couple of pieces that are particularly noteworthy, such as the artistic and glamorous of ‘La femme en bleu face à la porte du digital’ and ‘La femme en bleu face à l'escalier du Bonheur’, both are the result of magical mingle of mythical fantasy and surreal imagination.

"Un roi face à la dame de fer" (2015)

Something that captures the elegance and sublime of Paris, one can always find those quintessential qualities from ‘Paris je t’aime’ and ‘Un roi face à la dame de fer’. When it comes to my top pick, I have to say that ‘La femme en bleu sur le pas d’une romance’ and ‘Le voyageur face à une mer de nuages’ are the ones that keeping my eyes looking back again and again, while the first one reminds me of the splendor and glamour of Venice with a strong aura of mystery, elegance and romance, the latter one has a powerful expression of a admirable manhood, a true gentlemen that finally achieves the pinnacle of his life after all the hard work and struggle, overcoming all the challenges and sorrows in life, day by day, year by year, standing confidently and proud on his own with so much elegance, style and stoicism that eventually make his life journey more fulfilling and meaningful, always optimistic with the future, and strive to work even harder to prepare for another height to climb.
