René Manzor

(Film Director & Writer)

​​​​

What strikes at first glance in Gregory Herpe's work is the mirror effect he imposes.

We feel spied upon, scrutinized by his subjects.

Interpelled by an emotional realism that questions us.

However, most of his shots are in high contrast black and white, energized by short focal lengths that

transfigure this reality that we perceive daily in color in our 50mm human vision.

So why this emotion?

Perhaps because the people, animals and landscapes he captures all have a secret to reveal to us, a story to tell.

Ours...
