For my second post, I would like to share an extract from the project Caroline, Histoire numéro deux by French photographer Julien Magre. I discoverd this beautiful series a couple of weeks ago, during the Biennale de la Photographie de Mulhouse in France. His elegant analogue prints are exhibited at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Mulhouse until the beginning of next September.

Julien Magre was born in 1973. From his first years of studies at the Arts décoratifs in Paris, he started taking photos of a young woman who was to become the mother of his two children and the main character of a story entitled Caroline, Histoire numéro deux – the book of this work was published by Filigranes editions in 2010.
When talking about this project that he’s been working on for the past fifteen years, the photographer says he’s “the spectator of his own intimacy“. Choosing the right distance from his subject, not too far, not too close, he documents his everyday life and thus makes it poetic.
