PETER BEARD, Photographer







"I like to hang on to things and see the sea changes, 
the wear and tear, the spills rain, and fire - how time works on everything."








" I've always thought of photography as life-tickening, 
life-enhancing, and something to hang onto. The camera is magic." 






" The time is always now."



himself, Peter BEARD

Born in NYC, Peter Beard is worldwide renowned for his mastery of the African wilderness. Mix of photographs, texts and drawings, he devoted his work to analyze the relation between humans and animals in Africa, especially in Kenya. 
In 2009, he has been chosen to shoot the Pirelli Calendar in Botswana. Breathtaking pictures… 
He's one of my favorite photographers of all time. I admire his mind-blowing staging. 
Wild & elegant. Natural & exotic

✽ Made in my Dreams






I know I already dreamt about it. This little house lost in the green hills. Somewhere.
The natural light and the windows open to a messy garden which keep you totally connected to nature. 
The secret backyard full of grass plants, candles and travel souvenirs. And a surfboard, always. 
The used white kitchen suspended in the air - peaceful breakfast and dreamy dinner. The atmosphere, so calm, so quiet. 
Some pieces of wood from floor to ceiling. And here and there some homemade pillows and plaids, vintage furnitures and a lot of books. I mean, a mountain of books. 
To still dreaming and keeping our minds open, favorite photographs all around the house… 
Well, I dreamt about this house. And all I know is she's real, waiting somewhere in Mexico…

La Sensation des Choses


©Sarah Mahini
La sensation des choses.
Le toucher. Sa main, douce, qui prend la mienne et son épaule robuste qu’embrassent mes lèvres. Le tissu échauffé par le soleil qui, à son tour, me réchauffe la peau encore tiède. L’espace extérieur et sa lumière chaude. Ses bancs, usés, sa table repeinte et leurs surfaces dures et rugueuses contrastées par la douceur des vieux coussins. La nuit, le moelleux du plaid, et son odeur aussi. Celle du soir et de sa magie.
Par dessus tout, les choses du dehors. Les arbres, les fleurs. Les uns immortels, les autres temporelles. Chaud, le sable, dont les grains glissent sur la main, dégringolent sur le corps et se fixent sur les pieds. La texture des rochers qui se dessine sur les baigneurs aventuriers. 
La sensation de l’eau. Fraîche et salée. Les caresses de l’écume sur les chevilles, l’éclaboussure des premières vagues puis l’eau qui enserre lascivement le corps qui nage.

A visual story... The Salt Trail

Synopsis

"This is a visual story about splashing some colour into your lives, by opening your eyes, breaking away from the mould and following your dreams. As wave sliders, we are inspired by waves to travel the globe in search of perfect waves but the deeper you look and the further you go, you realise that its not about finding that perfect slide...its about the people you meet and what you find along the way and how these experiences change you deep within."
