Pierre
Caumont
A
photographer from France with a immense portfolio of nudes and figure
studies, Pierre CAUMONT is crafting a personal style based upon angles. He
shoots his subject from every conceivable viewpoint amidst a variety of
locations both indoors and outdoors. It is an exploration of intimate
detail. He was born May 23rd, 1965 in Saint-Etienne, an industrial city
located in southern France. At nineteen he spent a year across the
channel, in London, where he got to know Shakespeare's tongue. Upon his
return to France he enrolled at the University in Lyon set on studying
English and linguistics. His destiny, he thought, was to become a teacher.
But Pierre admits now that he was always drawn, perhaps more powerfully
than most, to the study of the female nude. And at this early stage of his
life all he had were words to express his thoughts and feelings. He
strayed from his studies, something he is now thankful for, feeling that
life as a language teacher would have led him to the insane asylum, and
eventually discovered photography.
He took to the medium with incredible passion and soon met a woman willing
to pose nude. The experience transformed him. For Pierre, it was as if she
were laying bare her soul to him. She lay there naked, beautiful,
completely vulnerable .. yet she was totally in command. Pierre was
enthralled and flooded with a confidence that had hitherto eluded him. He
arranged further sessions and as his portfolio grew, filled with beautiful
images of the female form, he developed philosophically as well. The
passion that had lay hidden within him for so many years has finally
surfaced and he now has the perfect tools to channel it - his camera and
his boundless imagination.
