Didier Massard earned a French Baccalaureate in Art and
Archeology in 1975 from the University of Paris and since 1987 has been
developing a series of tabletop photographs in his studio. He is an
accomplished photographers with both solo and group exhibitions all over the
world.
In his photograph titled La
Tour de Babel 2012, Massard uses his talents to showcase a building that
seems to simuntaneously be sinking into the ground and collapsing on itself at
the same time. The contrast between the shadowy building and bright skyline
make the photograph feel as if it’s busting off the page. The remnants of a
moat around the building enhances the photograph’s feeling of days past.

Massard’s Le Jardin
Obscur showcases his talent with the soft angles from the algae coupled
with the elegant seahorses. His innate ability to capture one’s attention and
use it to enhance the photograph make these algae appear to move. Coupled with
the bubbles going up the screen, an illusion is created, giving the photograph depth
and character.

In La Meduse,
Massard flaunts his talent for showing vibrant colors in an otherwise gloomy
background. The brightly colored corral pop against the background bring
captivate the viewer and draw attention to the details in the reef. What draws
me to Massard are his vibrant, yet gloomy photographs and his attention to
detail.
