J.R. Photoblog
|
One of the most ubiquitous themes in the modern world is the dichotomy between man made "technology" and "civilization" and the natural world. As human society moves deeper and deeper into an urban landscape we are puzzled and confused as to how we have become disconnected from the natural world - our native environment. As the world grows this theme has come to bear strongly in the worlds of art and photography. J.R. Photoblog is the photoblog of French born, Montreal based photographer Julien Roumagnac. Julien claims to be an amateur photographer and freelance web designer but his photographs display both experience and an understanding of the photographic art. J.R. Photoblog features photographs of the natural world and natural landscapes, photographs of urban environments and architecture and a random assortment of personal portraits. Technically, Juliens photos are well crafted. They are shot with a clear understanding of photographic technique and digital darkroom mastery. What really sets J.R. Photoblog apart is the juxtaposition of human and natural throughout the photographs. Few of the nature photos are devoid of human influence. Likewise when he shoots in the city Julien has a tendency to treat urban subjects as if they were a forest or a mountain range. Whether you are looking for a beautiful country scene or you want to meditate on humanities growth and development J.R. Photoblog is sure to have something to offer you. Well worth your time to investigate his archives. I promise you won't be disappointed. |
