Julien Magre is a French photographer born in 1973. His main focus is to conduct narratives that surround his life, almost documenting it, but is careful to only give the viewers what he wants to show. In a lot of the works he wants the viewer to draw their own conclusions and fill in the gaps. In this series titled " Troubles", Magre creates beautifully composed images that vary from snapshots to cinematic frames. They document this trip of a family on empty roads and random hotels. They are dark and mysterious, even ominous, but then they have a dream like quality that pulls you in and makes you wonder what could be going on during this trip.
Each images has a different feel and look to it, there are landscapes, portraits, random objects and rooms. The whole collection of work is also edited differently; some are dark, some look to be negatives, some are color graded. It is almost hard to piece Margre's images together, but when in a sequence they are like flashes of memories and you start to see this ordinary trip go to what looks like a dark ending.
