I spoke with Henry Roy yesterday about the 4th Eye Studio Photo extension. Inevitably the conversation “fell on its head”: how can the LE4E be an extension of myself? We have expressed the possibility of meeting and collaborating.

Henry has been in the photography business for 30 years. Dressed in a white shirt, brightened up with a handsome smile and a whitening beard serving as a tie, Henry spoke to me in beautiful natural light in front of an empty wall, busy wrapping his works for his exhibition on Haiti. Henry is also the organizer of the festival on the Haiti. It reminds me that we are all photographers and stuff.

Here are some links to Henry's work:

For Henry the choice of collaborator photographers is a matter of sensitivity and affinity. During the Haiti event, for example, he hired photographers he absolutely wanted to see engaged in practicing their art. More generally, it is not enough to share the same competitive profession to make common cause.

Henry invited me to read his blog: http://henryroy.blogspot.fr to deepen my knowledge of the subjects to be seen together. Acolytes joined with Henry in promoting a spontaneous view of the photo. Henry himself uses fixed focal lengths. His strength of conviction is an integral part of his art. I would like to suggest the collective name "Fixed Focal".

Henry believes that today’s photographer has become his own broadcaster. Instagram becomes the book and the place of consumption of the art of the photographer. At the same time, the spectators all become saturated with images. The profession needs innovation and change. Everyone has to find their way.

This interview was extremely useful to me. It reinforced my desire to offer a photo aperitif, to resume and re-listen to recorded interviews. Most of all, as I talked to Henry, I realized that the photo allowed me to be more… concrete.

Thanks Henry.
