​Preface to my photobook "Catalogne":

It is a great pleasure and honour for me to write a few words about this extraordinary book of Grégory Herpe.

Thanks to our common friend Elena Lindjo I had an opportunity to meet him in Monaco, and to work with him. It has been a pleasant experience.

He is a very precise artist who knows exactly what he wants, and creates his vision through his camera. I have been impressed by his ease in directing

his models and sending both simple and understandable message.

​

Grégory truly knows how to capture the imagination though his pictures.

They appeal to my sense of harmony and they challenge me in a very pleasant way.

They make me travel beyond what I see. His images are beautiful to look at, and they tell a story of their own.

I also like the way he uses architecture and lines.

It gives a feeling of solidity to the imagery which reflects the true essence of the country he photographs.

It is a tribute to Catalonia, a region with a great geographical and historical impact on Europe and the Mediterranean area.

​

Grégory has his own way to capture simple elements and make them imposing, with a discreet sense of humour.

I am delighted by his photos.

He can photograph situations which seem hopeless and introduce hope in his work.

He is also very aware of the context in which his subjects live.

He cares to preserve their dignity and to show their humanity.

I am awaiting your next book with anticipation !
