Can the beauty of the world be housed in the design of a seaweed in the sand? Renowned photographer Denis Brihat reveals the details of nature and its creative force that creates masterpieces shaped by time. 

Denis Brihat has dedicated his entire life to photography. The traditional color of the photography industry did not satisfy him for his personal creations, he developed by experimenting alone, the tints and shades. Having become a true master of printing techniques, he went beyond the imposed boundaries to transcribe nature magnified by his poetic eye.The emotional power that emanates from his photographs is the result of his aesthetic requirement whose rendering is without equal. But the technical processes are at the service of a single mission: "to reveal the beauty or the fantasy of a form, the complexity of a structure, the subtlety of a texture, the iridescence of a light, the poetry of a moment" as Solange, his wife, says so well. While impregnated with classical music which offers themes and variations, he wished to treat certain photographic subjects in the same way. Here, the sand and its variations. It is thus that through his glance on the creations of the nature a priori banal, he reveals the beauty and gives to see its infinite richness. 

Retour De Voyage has selected this photograph which highlights the intrinsic beauty of a "useless" detail. Perhaps it is here that Beauty resides. This 1977 photograph was developed in 1998 in a limited edition of 10 copies.
