Bruno Aveillan—Mnemo#LUX

Bruno’s photographs have an elegant and dreamy feel to them. Bruno’s photographs look like he photographed them in the mist or in the clouds. He probably photographed the scenes with an object very close to a corner of his camera to make the transparent colour toned blur to his photographs. He also uses long shutter speeds for some of his photographs where the moving object’s light is dragged into a continuous line. Sometimes he just blurred the whole photograph by purposely un-focusing the whole frame, such as on page 69. He also loves to photograph with light, on page 80, he captured the light coming from outside of the car window into the car. You can see the motion of the light as he made sure the sun is blocked a bit to the point that the lens can capture the lines of the light coming through the car window. Sometimes, half of the photograph is blurred to the point only colours can be told and the other half is completely in focus and crisp. His monograph has a set colour tone to them which is a low saturated, grey, light and dark blue, light brown colours. Colour is an important identity factor of a style so I think he has a strong style that focuses on colours and composition. Since the subjects being photographed are very blurred, viewers can only tell the shapes by their colours and appreciate the overall composition of the shape in the frame.
