Jean Sebastien Monzani

my chosen photographer and graphic designer, a very interesting character. Right now I'm skimming myself through his photographs and digital edited works and they're amazing. Even though I believe his female models are plain looking in some parts (where they don't have the distinctive features that make they stand out) but in his photographs, they're beyond extraordinary. The characterisation is strong for each series of photographs.

I first discovered the works of Jean Sebastien Monazi when I bought myself a photography magazine (when I was going through my photography love phase). He was one of the featured photographers and graphic designers. The magazine, which is called: Soura Magazine, Photography, published 4 of his photography series, and they all captured me the moment I laid eyes on them.

The series were:
  • The Prophecies of Borges
  • The Creatures
  • In Our Memories
  • The Still Travelers

ahh, to me, they're really breath-taking. I don't know how else to describe it. Sometimes the photographs themselves is enough to tell the story, but with the right words, the ones that can pull onto your heartstrings heavily, create such a greater impact. (I mean look at me, breathless) Perhaps there is a personal connection to his photographs, words and design style. Still learning more about him.
