From Travelling Communities to Parisian Cabarets: Maxwell Aurelien James —

Anna Prudhomme: Hi Maxwell, could you begin by telling me about how you first got into photography? Maxwell Aurélien: It all began quite unexpectedly, around twelve years ago, after I left the high-end watchmaking scene and decided to let go of the pursuit of material and social success.

Eden Levin « Une sorte de défouloir »

Tes débuts ?

Eden Levin : Enfant, je n’étais pas un très grand lecteur, sauf de bande-dessinée, puis ado je me suis mis aux nouvelles d’horreur et de science-fiction et j’ai commencé à en écrire.

Ton processus d’écriture ?

C’est quelque chose que j’aime faire intuitivement. C’est un jeu d’amusement et de curiosité. C’est avoir une page blanche devant soi et se lancer avec les mots qui tombent sous les doigts… Je me laisse souvent guider par un personnage ou par un lieu que je décris.
