LUCIEN HERVÉ

HIS IMAGES OF ICONIC MODERN ARCHITECTURE HAVE BEEN AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR ME FOR YEARS. THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT HIS PHOTOGRAPHS THAT FEELS BOTH TIMELESS AND CONTEMPORARY, AND I AM CONSTANTLY AMAZED BY THE BEAUTY AND SOPHISTICATION HE WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE THROUGH HIS LENS.

WHAT I FIND PARTICULARLY INSPIRING ABOUT HERVÉ'S WORK IS HIS ABILITY TO BRING OUT THE ESSENCE OF A BUILDING'S DESIGN. HIS USE OF STRONG GEOMETRIC LINES CREATES A VISUAL HARMONY, A SENSE OF BALANCE AND PROPORTION THAT IS TRULY REMARKABLE. HIS PHOTOGRAPHS OF LE CORBUSIER'S BUILDINGS, IN PARTICULAR, ARE A TESTAMENT TO HIS MASTERY OF ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY. HE WAS ABLE TO HIGHLIGHT THE STRUCTURES' CLEAN LINES AND SIMPLE FORMS IN A UNIQUE WAY AND HIS IMAGES REMAIN SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PHOTOGRAPHS OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE TO THIS DAY.

WHAT I ADMIRE MOST ABOUT LUCIEN HERVÉ IS HIS DEDICATION TO HIS ART, ESPECIALLY HIS HONESTY AND HUMBLENESS. DESPITE HIS IMMENSE TALENT AND THE IMPACT HE HAD ON THE WORLD OF PHOTOGRAPHY, HE REMAINED GROUNDED AND DEDICATED TO HIS CRAFT. HE NEVER LET HIS SUCCESS GO TO HIS HEAD, AND HE REMAINED COMMITTED TO CAPTURING THE WORLD IN THE MOST HONEST AND TRUE WAY POSSIBLE.
