Quote: Edouard Boubat (Photographer)

Photography as a way to celebrate life! I need to add more truth, more beauty into my photographs. My photography should be about humanity in all of its complexity, not only the ugly parts, but also the joy and wonder of being alive.

Here is Mr. Boubat speaking of what he tried to acheive in his photography after World War II.

"After the war, we felt the need to celebrate life, and for me photography was the means to achieve this."

"In fact, my photography is not about the country, it's about the people I meet. It's about the chance encounters. If you don't love people, it is difficult to work."
