Christian Caujolle on Four Photographers Who Redefined Press Imagery

Christian Caujolle, artistic director of the agency and gallery Vu, recounts the surprising encounters that brought together four young photographers determined to insert blurred, off-frame, dirty, or simply different images into the press. Philip Blenkinsop uses his subjectivity as a driving force for representation. Michael Ackerman works with freedom of approach, mixing formats and disregarding rules; his meeting with Caujolle enabled access to the desire to work with Antoine d'Agata. Olivier Pin-Fat demonstrates a strong sense of narrative. All four affirm their subjectivity with violence and romanticism.
