We take a look at the black and white work produced by the photographers of the MYOP agency, exhibiting this year at the Rencontres Internationale de la Photographie in Arles, France.
The collection is on display at the Henri Comte gallery

The intense light of southern Spain creates deep shadows that are an integral part of the dichotomous world of bullfighting. ‘As an art student and admirer of the play of light and contrast of Rembrandt, Cézanne or Seurat, the darkroom is the place where the subjectivity of the artist I aspired to be could print his point of view on what the camera had coldly recorded. I have always found photography to be deceptive in the way it makes the essential part of reality disappear by showing only a single, flat, frozen image.’
