Woman is the future of the nude
Sandrine Hermand Grisel

Nude photos can be the worse or the best. So then, when the latest is presented, one shouldn’t miss it.
"In my desire to define the real, to fix life, I constantly interrogate the images of the body". I explore its postures and its movements, the person, beyond the model, "declared Sandrine Hermand Grisel in her website presentation. And what strikes immediately by looking at his photos, is the coherence between this discourse, and her approach and the work she produces.
Not so common. A word immediately comes to mind: demand. This young photographer is the laureate of the prestigious Prix Ilford for a reason! The same that got her to get awarded and published three times in the magazine Reponse Photo, defender of the quality Black and White photography. We are astonished at the mastery of Sandrine, her acuity, the strength that passes through her refined images, the life that emerges from it. The eyes of women on the body, so different from ours, certainly represent the future of the nude. Remember her name! The Ilford Award is a springboard that has revealed many famous today's photographers. Sandrine Hermand Grisel has everything it takes to walk in their footsteps.

I won 2nd place and a publication on Reponses Photo!

Thank you Reponses Photo for giving me 2nde place in this month photo contest "Vos photos à la Une"

Merci Reponses Photo pour cette 2nde place dans votre concours mensal "Vos Photos à la One"



These are triplets poding… To obtain such an surprising image, Sandrine used numeric technics with photoshop. The juxtaposition of the lines formed by the arms and the legs, the punctuation of the hands, generate a rhythm worthy of the famous "nude descending the staircase". Here repetition does not engender lassitude. The contrast treatment accentuates the graphic of the composition and despite all, still retains substance in highlights. For the lighting, Sandrine used three "Cremer". These are lamps equipped with a Fresnel lens, commonly used in theaters, and which provide a very focalized and therefore highly contrasted light. This image is part of a series of female nudes.

Photography.com Bourse du Talent


Sandrine Hermand Grisel was selected for the 8th talent grant. “Passionate about photo since the youngest age, I have committed myself to photograph the human person. In my desire to identify the real, to stop life, I never stop to search into the images of the body; I try to explore its postures and its movements. But I asked myself what the photographs let us see from the human beyond the model…”




Ma photo "poupées" sera publiée sur Reponses Photo !
