Vincent G.

There are images that refuse to leave.

Those that lodge somewhere between the ribs, that resurface at night without warning, that turn an ordinary hallway into something unsettling, a mundane light into an omen. Not the spectacular images — the other ones. Those that suggest rather than show, that leave a door ajar to something one couldn't quite name.

It is with these images that I work.

I am a photographer, filmmaker, and screenwriter, based in the Paris region. My universe lives between waking and dreaming, between the familiar and the strange, that precise moment when reality begins to crack, when beauty and unease become difficult to distinguish.

I grew up with the certainty that images could do something to people, reach them in places words don't always reach. That certainty has never really left me, even when I traveled.

My work is fueled by the cinema of Lynch, Tarkovsky, Cronenberg, Apichatpong, the photography of Michael Ackerman, Gregory Crewdson, Todd Hido, the light of Renaissance painting, surrealism and its dream logic. All of this is found in what I do, like invisible raw material, a way of seeing before even looking through a viewfinder.

I am looking for creative projects that are not afraid to go into slightly strange, slightly offbeat places. Music videos with real artistic direction. Photo projects that have something to say beyond just being beautiful. Collaborations for stories that leave a mark. If you are looking for someone who understands that the strange and the poetic are not flaws but directions, then we probably have things to discuss.

Write to me for your video or photo (portrait) projects!
