Eric Maillet

Eric Maillet (born 1957) discovered photography at the end of the 1970s. A completely self-taught photographer, he cultivated a style influenced by the work of Brodovitch and Rodtchenko. In taking inspiration from painting, he quickly realized that the graphic impact, the lines, and the composition were a fundamental base in making an image perfect. Maillet admires the great reportage photography of Henri Cartier Bresson and Willy Ronis, and it is through this perspective that he approaches his still-life work: a reporter exposing and describing what he sees in his everyday life.
