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.
