Baalbek. Photo essay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the time we’re on the lookout for the image, running after the event with our cameras around our necks in the hope of capturing that “decisive” moment in our eyes.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we’re lucky enough to be able to work on a subject and take our time. To let ourselves be imbued and inspired by a subject.<\/p>\n

Here, the magnificent site of Baalbek in Lebanon – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – was the inspiration for an almost meditative work.<\/p>\n

Black-and-white photos taken with a large-format view camera, a rigorous composition that balances each photo… Time stands still!<\/p>\n
