Chervine

Chervine was born in Iran, grew up in Paris before moving to New York. A self-taught photographer, he honed his craft during extensive travels around the world. Chervine develops a personal work, photographing the city and the scenes that take place in it: a woman looks at the sun, a couple discusses in front of a café, a mother and her daughter cross the road, these anodyne moments, the photographer sublimates them with a chiaroscuro that dramatizes the scene and plunges us into a cinematographic imaginary. His images, captured exclusively with available light, involve no staging, cropping, or retouching, reflecting his interest in the raw and spontaneous nature of city landscapes.

Né en Iran, Chervine a grandi à Paris avant de s'installer à New York. Photographe autodidacte, il a perfectionné son art au cours de nombreux voyages à travers le monde. Chervine développe une œuvre personnelle, photographiant la ville et les scènes qui s'y déroulent : une femme regarde le soleil, un couple discute devant un café, une mère et sa fille traversent la route, ces moments anodins, le photographe les sublime par un clair-obscur qui dramatise la scène et nous plonge dans un imaginaire cinématographique. Ses images, prises exclusivement en lumière naturelle, ne comportent ni mise en scène, ni recadrage, ni retouche, reflétant ainsi son intérêt pour le caractère brut et spontané des paysages urbains.
