Sven Laurent - Let me shoot for you

WITHIN

WALKING

DISTANCE

For me photography has always been about comfort and contemplation. Finding beauty in my close surroundings is a balancing act in order to survive the social and political turmoil of the world we live in. Carrying a camera most of the time, I take pictures wherever I am. I don’t look for the exotic or the spectacular. Images appear to me, triggered by the light, colour, shape or perspective, revealing the beauty that often goes unseen. Part of a large ongoing body of work, these carefully selected images, taken during daily walks part of a long physical rehabilitation process, are exploring the subjective aspects of beauty, inviting the viewer to question his own sense of aesthetics and the way he is looking at his environment.
