Fred Lahache

I was looking for interesting ways to compose an image and came across Fred Lahache's work. He is a Paris-based photographer who seems to photograph whatever looks interesting or whatever he could make look interesting. Obviously, composition and color stand out in his work which is what I hope to achieve in my own. You can tell from his work that this requires careful attention to detail of everyday surroundings. Lahache organizes his work in collections, one titled Le Plein, about which he writes "The most important is within reach, as long as you make the effort to appreciate it : moments with your family, friends, beautiful things to see... just because they are familiar it doesn't mean you can't give them a fresh eye."
I am drawn to the act of looking at an object/scene and discovering multiple ways to capture it, but the most interesting way in my opinion ends up being the shots that leave a lot of information out of the frame. The photographs become more about their formal compositions and about all the possibilities that could narrate the image.
