Jean Pierrot - Tumblr Posts

This photo is one of my favorite images by Slovenian photographer Jean Pierrot from his photobook ‘Romance.’ 

“Pierrot’s collection of analog photographs visualize his experience with romance, telling a story of the feelings of joy, mystery, and desire associated with the concept of romantic love.” — Steph Wade, IGNANT Magazine.

You can view more of Pierrot’s photography from Romance on IGNANT, an ‘online magazine featuring the finest in art, design, photography, travel, and architecture,’ here: Jean Pierrot’s Romance, A Personal Meditation On The Ways We Fall In Love.

With this forgotten sensibility, I wanted to explore that which most are out of tune with nowadays. Grains of sand caught in your pores and in your hair. Salt crystals that dry on your skin after the sun sucks all the water back towards the sky. A warm dune at your back with a well traveled, cold wind blowing past your face. And a clean sky that makes you feel as if the atmosphere around you couldn’t get any thinner and you’re moving through the raw elements of the universe. When millions of sea shells and driftwood beneath your feet make you feel like you’re the last living thing standing. The thrill of loneliness and learning to lose all sense of time…

…To find a desolate landscape and discover a sensory wealth.”
