GalleryCarre is for the connoisseur, the voyeur, for the man of taste: for the woman of taste! If you adore beautiful women presented in artistic perfection, this is the place for you.
With its daily updates and free tour through the galleries of Didier Carre's acclaimed black and white photographs, you will find exquisite female nudes captured in ways that will make you reassess the role of the photographer and the erotic genre in a consumerist age.
Didier Carre is a master of his craft: an artist, a technician, a philosopher. An image for Carre begins in the imagination and, like a painting in oils, the shot is constructed intellectually a step at a time. Through this painstaking process, Carre creates hand-crafted black and white photos of peerless quality.
Like an alchemist turning base metal to gold, Carre mixes his chemicals to his own formula and prints on high-quality Berrger paper. He plans already to leave his life's work to a museum and it is his blend of elements and studied preparation that will give his prints a life span of up to three hundred years. A print from Didier Carre is a work of art made to endure.
Carre's mission is to preserve what he sees as a dying tradition. When the Chaplin family in the United States acquired some old boxes of negatives of stills taken on set for classic Charlie Chaplin films from the 1920s, it was to Didier Carre's studio that they came to coax the old film into crisp new photographs. 'I am,' he says, 'a part of history.'
Carre steers clear of digital cameras and believes that when you can send images through a wire something of the soul of the photograph disappears. He is also a realist and desires through these galleries to bring his work to a larger audience.
During Carre's 20 years as a lab technician, he developed his skills, mixed his potions and began to delve into his passions. Carre is fascinated by the combination and shapes of the objects he photographs and will find common denominators in, for example, the curves of a naked girl and a flight of stairs, the result presented in a diptych.
